Christmas Bingo Starter: a page from the printable

Every call has a line to read out

The call sheet gives one short line for every word - that tinsel was first made of real silver, that Jingle Bells never once mentions Christmas - so the caller carries the conversation while the table marks its cards.

Checked, not claimed

Every card is read back out of the finished PDF and re-proved: no two cards alike, no word twice on a card, every word on the call list, no two cards sharing a line, large print words 23 pt or larger, classic words 17 pt or larger. And no Starter card shares a line with any card of the full pack, so the two can play side by side.

How to play

1. Hand out the cards. Buttons, beans or a pencil all work for marking.

2. Draw a chip or follow the call order, say the word, read its line.

3. A full line - across, down or corner to corner - and call out.
