How to Play Boxer Bingo

Stylish boxer shorts are prizes given at Boxer Bingo.

Boxer Bingo is an entertaining event, especially for high school graduates. Students often play the game on graduation night lock-ins. New boxer shorts of all sizes and styles may be donated for the event and graduates who win each Bingo round get to choose a pair of boxer shorts as the prize. Many students wear the shorts over their clothes. Boxer shorts have become a staple lounge-wear item for teenagers. You can play Boxer Bingo exactly like regular Bingo, while replacing the word Bingo with the word Boxer.

Things You'll Need

• Boxer Bingo cards
• Boxer Bingo dobbers or discs
• Boxer shorts

Instructions

1. Print out different Boxer cards. You can create custom Bingo cards online at Print-Bingo.com. Place BOXER in the custom header and fill out the rest of the fields, including the center square text and word list. Choose your text size, card size and font. Select "Randomized Bingo Call Sheets" as the output type and click "Submit."

2. Decide how many Boxer Bingo patterns you will choose to use as winning images. Most players can call a Bingo by obtaining five squares in a row across, up, down or diagonally. Decide if you will allow a player to call Bingo if they get all four corners or get what is called a "postage stamp," which is all four squares in one corner only.

3. Print large numbers and letters on ping pong balls with a black permanent marker, using BOXER as the letters. Begin with B1 and continue. Choose what number you wish to go up to. Place the balls in a glass pitcher or bowl, so the players can see you or an assistant pull them out randomly. Place balls that you have called in a separate bowl. You can also purchase Bingo cages online or at some hobby or game stores.

4. Distribute Boxer cards at the Boxer Bingo playing site. Give one sheet per player. Offer a way for players to keep up with the numbers you call, such as using dobbers or discs.

5. Speak into a microphone when you call out the numbers. Call the numbers out three times to give everyone time to find the number on their cards. Instruct players before the game begins that they must wait to call a Bingo until after you have called the number a third time. Ask, "Are there any other Bingos?" before checking Bingo cards of those who called Bingo.

6. Give the winner a pair of boxer shorts as their prize.
