How To Set Up The Bingo Game
- Print the size of the Bingo Card you require. If printing the small cards, cut the page in half so each player has one card each.
- Print and cut the Bingo Calling Cards along the lines, fold them in half and half again, and place them into a bowl.
- Print and cut the Tokens—each player needs 25.
- Alternatively, if you don’t want to print out the Tokens, you can use dot markers or bingo markers (called daubers) or bingo counters/chips to mark off each image as it is called.
How to Play (WWII) VJ Day Bingo:
If you don’t know how to play bingo, here is a quick rundown.
- Assign someone to be the Bingo Caller.
- Each player is given a Bingo Card, a set of Tokens (if using), or a bingo marker.
- Decide the winning straight line(s): a horizontal line, a vertical line, a diagonal line, or filling the board for a Full House.
- The Bingo Caller pulls out one of the Calling Cards and calls it out to the players.
- The players then cover that picture on their bingo cards.
- The winner is the first to complete the winning line(s) and shouts BINGO!
- TIP! Hand out prizes for each winning sequence, with a grand prize for a Full House.
Ideal for VJ Day celebrations, educational activities, and history-themed events, this set makes learning about World War II interactive and memorable.
