How to Play Bingo
It is easy to learn how to play bingo, so easy in fact that if you can get them to sit still long enough toddlers can play bingo.
Each player is given a card with a series of numbers on it laid out in a 9 x 3 grid (5 x5 in America) on a standard bingo card. There are 5 numbers on each line, so 15 in total. The grids are arranged, so that the first column contains numbers 1-10, the second column numbers 11-20 and the third 21-30, the pattern is followed through until the last column.
There is a container with 90 balls in it, each of which has a unique number on it. These balls are pulled out of the container one by one. Each player crosses the numbers off of their cards as the individual numbers are read out. The first player to cross off all the numbers off wins.
Play Bingo with Multiple Cards
To increase your chances of winning you can play with multiple cards. It takes a bit of practice to learn how to keep tabs on several cards, but if you build up gradually you can do so quite effectively.
