Requirements
Bingo card (Game ticket)
Markers
Announcer
Steps
1 The first step is to place is to place your marker in the center bingo square which is considered as a free space
The traditional bingo card is a 5x5 grid card of numbers with the letter B-I-N-G-O written across the top. The letter identifies each of the column
2 Listen as letter and number are called out by the announcer, mark any square on your card that matches the number called.
i.e. if B10 is called out for example, look in the B column for the number 10, and place your marker there if you find it.
3 Continue playing until a player has filled a vertical, horizontal or diagonal pattern of 5 grid spaces on their card.
4 As soon as you mark 5 consecutive squares on your card, call out BINGO! The first player to get BINGO! Wins the game.
Did you know that BINGO was made popular by some travelling salesmen who adapted the name from a game called ‘BEANO’ in 1929. It was played by covering a number on the card with BEANS.
