Step-By-Step:
Start by getting the Rhetorical 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 more than 1 bingo cards per page.
Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use crayons. 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 begins the game by randomly pulling an item from the call list and calling out it to all players.
The players check 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 shouts "Bingo!" and wins the game.
The caller validates that the items crossed off form a proper line as per the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for different patterns or a full card blackout for a longer game.
