Step-By-Step:
Start by downloading the Idioms 1/2 PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print a hard copy.
For random drawing, 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 lines if there are greater than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use pens. 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 pulling an item from the call list and announcing it to everyone.
The players check their cards to see if they have the called word. If they do, they mark that word.
The first player to finish a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items yells "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller checks that the items crossed off form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for a longer play.
