Paper Caller: Print PDF calling list & calling slips and manually pick the slips.
Virtual Caller: Click on the Play button above.

Step-By-Step:

Start by downloading the NIME 2026 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 draw them randomly at play time.
Cut the bingo cards at the cut lines 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 as well play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller starts the game by randomly picking an item from the call list and calling out it to everyone.
The players scan their cards to see if they have the called word. If they do, they cross off that word.
The first player to complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items yells "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller checks that the items marked form a proper line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for a longer play.
