Step-By-Step:
Start by saving the Reading retreat 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 marks if there are more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use pencils. Crayons are the cheapest.
Pick 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 starts the play by randomly drawing an item from the call list and saying it to everyone.
The players scan their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they mark that word.
The first player to finish a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of crossed items announces "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller confirms that the items crossed off form a proper line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for multiple patterns or a full card blackout for an extended game.
