Fete Bingo Game

Fete Bingo Game

Dear friends,

Lady Elizabeth has proposed a game of Bingo to be held at our Summer Fete, which she has asked me to host. I do hope you will all join in, for it shall be a unique Bingo game, in which we create a card to send to our partner to use in the actual game.

For this swap, we will have one partner, and for that partner we shall create a Bingo card. Your card must be at least 4 inches by 6 inches and have 25 squares, arranged in five rows of five squares each, the central square in the third column, as is traditional, shall be a free space. From the list below, you must choose your random numbers and place one in each square of your card, so that when complete, each square shall have a number in it. The letters B-I-N-G-O should appear across the top of the squares, one letter representing each column. You may decorate your card in any way you like, as long as the numbers in each square are clearly able to be seen. Once your card is finished, write your name and the name of the swap on the reverse. It’s not a requirement to write a note in character, but you may if you are so inclined.

Once all the cards have been received, on the day of our Summer Fete, numbers will be drawn and posted on the forum. If you find you have covered the squares in a horizontal or vertical row, or have covered all four corners or indeed the entire board, you have Bingo! and will receive a prize. Drawings shall continue until someone has won.

Good Luck to all and I look forward to seeing you all at the Fete
