Open the PDF and print a hard copy.
For random calling, you can print another copy of the call list, cut, fold and then pull them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut marks if there are more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use markers. Crayons are the cheapest.
Choose one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller can also play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller opens the game by randomly drawing an item from the call list and calling out it to everyone.
The players check their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they cross off that word.
The first player to finish a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items shouts "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller verifies that the items marked form a correct line as per the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for a longer game.
