How to Play Zingo

Zingo, a picture-based variation of Bingo for up to eight players, is for children ages 4-8, but it can be enjoyed by players of all ages. It requires concentration, memory and quick thinking to claim tiles, fill your Zingo card and win the game. Be careful though; other players might need the same tiles as you, and will be trying to beat you to them. As a variation of Bingo, the rules in Zingo are very similar to that classic game.

Instructions

- 1
  Fill the tile dispenser with Zingo tiles, making sure that all tiles are facing up. Choose one player to be the moderator. The remaining players should choose a Zingo card.
- 2
  Begin play when the moderator dispenses two tiles. Players check the pictures on the tiles with the pictures on their Zingo cards. If there is a match, the players yell out the name of the matching tile. The player that says the name first can place the tile on the corresponding space on his card.

  Win the game by filling all slots on your game card and shouting "Zingo!" Choose a new moderator, redistribute the cards and play again. Continue until every player has had a turn to be moderator. Whoever wins the most rounds is the champion.
