Bingo is probably one of the games that is easy to play on the planet; what you need are bingo cards, bingo chips, the ability to recognize numbers, fast eyes and a prize, even children can do it.
Object of the game:
The object of the game is to complete a certain pattern called for in a certain game with the minimum number of calls. Patterns are determined before the game starts, it can either be a a box, a full horizontal, a vertical, or a diagonal, or what they call block out, in which you’ll have to fill your whole card.
The Bingo Card
The card Bingo uses has five letters (B, I, N, G, O) across the top showing the five columns. Each column has its own set of numbers ranging from 1 to 75.
The B column has numbers from 1-15, while column I has numbers, 16-30, 31-45 are the numbers for the N column, the G column has numbers from 46 to 60, and the O column has numbers from 61 – 75. Each column Each of the column may only have five numbers from their respective range.
The card forms a grid in which the middle grid, the third row of the N column is labeled free, this box doesn’t need to be filled.
The Game Proper
You need a bingo card, which you can have more than one, depending on your labeling ability.
The game immediately starts after the host tells everyone the pattern to be completed.
Listen for the 1st ball, the host will call out a letter, either B, I, N, G or O, for the column and then a number, e.g. N-43.
Look for this number in your card and label it immediately.
The host continues to call out letters and numbers until someone accomplished the pattern required.
The person accomplishing the pattern should immediately yell bingo! To inform everyone that she has finished the pattern and has won the game.
The host will then verify if all the numbers forming the pattern in the card had been called, either by taking your card, or by you shouting out the numbers that made you form the pattern.
A new bingo game may follow after another, using a same or another pattern, or same or different prize.
The prize should be immediately given after a Bingo.
Note
Don’t shout BINGO if you haven’t formed a pattern yet, this stops the games and annoying for other players.
