How to play
- Bingo cards – Each player gets one bingo card. There are 8 bingo cards available, if you have more than 8 players, you can play as groups.
Also give the markers for each player. - Rules – Agree on when to call bingo. You can choose one row, one column or the entire board. If you play one row or one column, then you need to give 5 markers to each player.
- Caller cards – Place the caller cards on the container
- Play – One player draws the cards from the container one at a time. If the card matches with the game board, players will place a marker on the corresponding box.
The first player to mark an entire row, column or the whole board, will be the winner. There’s a free box in the centre of the board to make it easier.
Other ways to play
- Everyone is a caller – Instead of one player being the caller, everyone gets a turn to pick a caller card. We usually like this way, as everyone gets a chance.
- Make it competitive – If you have older kids, then set a timer for the game to make it a bit challenging. Also, you can try other patterns instead of row or column to call bingo.
