How To Play Bingo

How To Play Bingo: Pass out a Bingo Playing Card to each guest at the baby shower. Because this is Baby Shower Bingo, the cards have baby, maternity, and pregnancy-related words on them.

The host is the "caller". She is responsible for pulling out Bingo words from a bag. Each Bingo word is written on an individual slip of paper. The host reads a word out loud, and if any of the guests have that word on their Bingo cards, then they mark it off using a pen or pencil provided by the host.

The first guest to complete a line of five, marked-off words on their Bingo card wins. A completed line occurs either vertically, horizontally or diagonally in a line of five, marked-off words. A person who achieves such a line of words, must call out "Bingo!" quickly, in case there are other guests completing similar lines at the same time. The first person to shout out "Bingo!" wins.

This is how to play Bingo using our classic baby shower rules. But, ultimately the goal is to have lots of fun, so don't be too strict!
