How to Play Bingo?

Bingo is a game where you try to match numbers on your card with numbers called out by someone else.

You need a special card, it's like a small grid with numbers in each square, kind of like the squares on a chocolate bar. Usually, there are 5 rows and 5 columns, making 25 squares total.

How the Game Works

Someone (called the caller) picks numbers from a big bag or a machine and shouts them out one by one. If you have that number on your card, you mark it, just like when you put a sticker on something you own.

You keep marking until you have five marked squares in a row, this could be across, down, or even diagonally. When that happens, you shout “Bingo!” and win the game!

How to Play with Friends

Everyone gets their own card. The caller keeps going until someone has five in a row. Sometimes people play together, if you're lucky, your friend might be the first one to yell "Bingo!"

It's like playing tag, but instead of running, you’re looking for numbers and marking them, it’s fun and easy!
