How to play
- Print the cards: one for each player, with a pen. Every card is different.
- Cut the list of 40 words into slips and put them in a hat. Draw one at a time and read it out – or read the list in a random order – and tick off each word you call.
- Everyone crosses out the called words on their card. The square in the middle is free: it counts from the start.
- Whoever first has a full row, column or diagonal shouts “Bingo!”. Check the words against your ticked list.
- Final round: play until someone fills the whole card. Prize idea: first pick from the pile of gifts, or a funny gift.
- On a video call, everyone prints their own card: send the same link (same cards), and each player takes a different card number.
Bingo online
One screen draws the words – a TV, a projector or a screen shared on a video call – and everyone joins on their own phone with a short code or the QR code and gets a card of their own. A tap marks a square, the server checks “Bingo!” against the words drawn, and the big screen shows who has it. No accounts, nothing to install.
