    Instructions for Book Bingo

    1. Using a ruler, pencil or pen, outline a piece of paper with 5 rows and columns (a total of 25 boxes).  Look up what a bingo sheet looks like for reference if need be.

    2. In the middle box, fill it with a sticker, a drawing, or leave it blank. It's up to you on how you want         to personalize the game.

    3. In every box besides the middle, add the name of the books you want to read, including the authors         name or initials. Insure the titles and names are easy to locate and identifiable. If you need more            room for additional books, repeat process 1-3 on another sheet of paper.

    4. On a separate sheet of paper, write the title and author names indicated on the Bingo sheet(s). Cut         out these pieces, fold, and put in a medium jar with a lid.

    5. On another sheet of paper, write obtainable prizes you wish to have once you complete reading 5            books in a row. Research the rules for Bingo to insure you are doing it correctly. Either keep the            paper intact or cut the prizes and put them in the jar.

    6. With the Book Bingo complete, randomly choose a folded piece of paper from the jar, indicating            which book you will read next. Once complete, locate the title of the book on the Bingo card,                cross it out, and continue picking a book at random.

  

 7. Once 5 of the completed books on the Bingo card are met, choose a prize at random for your                reward for winning the game!
