Cut the bingo cards at the cut marks if there are greater than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use pens. Crayons cost the least.
Pick one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller can as well play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller starts the game by randomly drawing an item from the call list and calling out it to everyone.
The players scan 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 yells "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller verifies that the items marked form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for different patterns or a full card blackout for an extended play.
