How to play
1. Set your rules
You can play bingo a few ways. One way to win is by finding each item in a horizontal or vertical line on your bingo card. Another is by collecting everything on the bingo card.
You can choose to do both versions for the full bingo experience. Round one completing a line on the card, then round two completing the full card.
2. Set your Rubbish bingo boundary
Set your bingo area boundary so no one ventures too far away and you can hear each other.
3. Start your Rubbish bingo round
Make sure you announce the beginning of the game. You don’t want players getting ahead before you start!
As you find an item listed on your bingo card, cross it off. The first player to complete a line or all items on the card shouts 'bingo!', crowning them the winner.
