How to Play Halloween Bingo

Halloween Bingo is a fun game to play at a Halloween party or get together. The following will show you how to make your own Halloween Bingo game to play.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Cards
• Markers or Computer/Printer
• Candy corn
• People to play
• Halloween prizes

1. Use index cards for game cards. Make a line of five squares of equal shapes side by side on each one. Draw them by hand with a black magic marker on cardboard, construction paper or regular paper, or by using your computer. In each square draw a different Halloween shape or paste a Halloween icon. Some examples are a pumpkin, a cat, a skeleton or skull, a ghost, a haunted house, a bat, or a witch.

2. Draw five rows of five additional squares underneath the squares with the Halloween symbols in them to complete your game card. You should have a total of twenty-five squares under the picture squares. Draw another Halloween shape inside the "Free" spot, which will be directly in the middle of the grid, and make one game card for every player.

3. Make 10 cards for each Halloween shape you've drawn in your grid or print them from your computer. On each card have the Halloween picture or name (for example "cat") and one number from one to ten. You should have fifty of these bingo cards.

4. Separate all the cards by Halloween shape. Take one shape (let's say "cat"), mix all the bingo cards and pull out a card from the pile. Put the number off that card in the first box under "cat," then pull out another one and put that number in the second box and so on until you have all five boxes full. Do this for each picture row and each game card.

5. Mix the cards all up and hand out a Halloween Bingo game card to each player. Use candy corns as markers for your game and hand out a handful to each player. Have plenty on hand in case someone gets hungry.

6. Place all your cards into a caldron. Pull them out one-by-one yelling out the Halloween symbol and number on the card.

7. Win the game by getting five in a row vertically, diagonally or horizontally. Give a Halloween prize or candy to the winner of the game.
