Step-By-Step:
- Start by getting the Summer Reading PDF by clicking on the "Print" button above.
- Open the PDF and print a hard copy.
- For random drawing, 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 marks if there are greater than 1 bingo cards per page.
- Distribute one card per player. For marking, you can use crayons. Crayons are the cheapest.
- Select 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 initiates 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 dab that word.
- The first player to complete a horizontal, vertical, or a diagonal line of marked items yells "Bingo!" and wins the game.
- The caller checks 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.
