Step-By-Step:
Start by getting the Mentee Bingo PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
Open the PDF and print it.
For random calling, you can print another copy of the call list, cut, fold and then pick 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 markers. Crayons are the cheapest.
Select one person to be the caller. If you are playing in a small group, the caller may as well play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller opens the game by randomly drawing an item from the call list and announcing it to everyone.
The players look at their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they cross off that word.
The first player to complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of crossed items announces "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller verifies that the items marked form a proper line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for multiple patterns or a full card blackout for a longer play.
