ABSTRACT:
A new type of Bingo game for children wherein each of a plurality of player game cards is divided into a grid of not more than twenty-five equal areas arrayed in five rows and five columns in which are displayed in different grid areas on each card a combination of indicia consisting of not more than twenty predetermined different items each related to a single subject and at least five blank areas for designated and insertion by each player with his and the other players' names. The word "BINGO" is written above the grid columns, spaced to permit each of its letters to identify a different column. Each player plays with at least one game card. Squares, discs or chips are sequentially and randomly selected from a group of squares, discs or chips which collectively match all players' names without their columnar locations and all predetermined indicia with their columnar locations. In response to the sequential selections and announcements of the players' names and, in the case of predetermined indicia, the indicia and columnar locations, each player uses one of a supply of markers to cover the area on his game card that matches the item announced. The first player to cover five grid areas in a straight line either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, becomes the winner and the game ends.
