Step-By-Step:
- Start by downloading the Socratic Seminar 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.
- Give one card to each 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 picking an item from the call list and saying it to all players.
- The players check 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 crossed items announces "Bingo!" and wins the game.
- The caller verifies 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 a longer game.
