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.
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 can also play along with their own Bingo card.
The caller starts the game by randomly pulling an item from the call list and announcing it to everyone.
The players check their cards to see if they have the announced word. If they do, they mark that word.
The first player to complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of crossed items yells "Bingo!" and wins the play.
The caller confirms that the items marked form a correct line according to the Bingo card and call list.
You can play for varied patterns or a full card blackout for an extended play.
