Summer Bingo Supplies Needed
To play Summer Bingo, collect the following items:
- Bingo Cards (sign up below to snag the cards)
- Caller’s Sheet (you’ll get this too)
- Markers: Use goldfish crackers, seashells, paper pieces, or whatever you have!
- Prizes: Select small prizes for winners (ideas below!)
How to Play Summer Bingo
1. Begin by designating a caller and distributing one Bingo card to each player in the game.
2. Next pass out your markers (these are the items players use to mark their spaces)
3. Decide what each player needs to win. Can they go up, down, and diagonally? Do they need “blackout” (all spaces marked) before they win? Make sure everyone is clear on how you win the game.
4. The “caller” uses the caller sheet to call out different items on the bingo cards one at a time. Skip around at random when calling out. As players hear an item called, they look and mark it on their card with the marker if they have it.
5. When a player completes a line or covers the whole board, they shout “Bingo!” to win.
For a summer theme, you could have players call out “Splash!” instead of “Bingo!”
