How to Set Up a Bingo Game

Bingo is a game played by marking numbers on a card after they have been chosen at random and called out to the players. This game is played by all ages at fairs, parties, fundraisers and halls designed specifically for gaming. Whatever the reason for your game, it is a simple process to make sure that everything is set up and ready by the time the game begins.

Things You'll Need

Bingo cards
Daubers or tokens
Set of bingo balls
Bin large enough to hold the balls
Writing instrument
Writing surface

Instructions

- 1
  Distribute the bingo cards and daubers or tokens to the players. There should be enough cards for each player to have at least one. Give each player a dauber if the cards are disposable or enough tokens to cover each space on the card if the cards are reusable.
- 2
  Place the bingo balls into a bin. The bin can be a hopper, cage, bucket, or any other container large enough to hold the entire set and allow the caller to shuffle the balls and choose them at random.
- 3
  Provide the caller with something to write with and a surface to write on, such as a marker and a dry erase board or a pen and paper. He will use this to record the numbers as they are called to check them against winning cards.
