Musical Bingo instructions

How to Play:

Get Your Card: Each player gets a bingo card filled with song titles. The centre square is a "Free Space."

Start the Game: The host will play short clips (or full songs) from this playlist, which features popular songs from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Mark the Card: When a song you have on your card is played, mark the corresponding square. You can use a pen, a chip, or a dauber—whatever you like!

Winning: The first player to complete a line—whether horizontal, vertical, or diagonal—shouts "Bingo!"

A line can be completed either by marking off 5 squares in a row or by having one of the following patterns:

  • Full horizontal row

  • Full vertical column

  • Diagonal from one corner to the opposite corner

  • Full card (optional, if you're playing for a larger prize)

Verification: After someone calls out "Bingo!", the host will verify the winning player's card. If all the marked songs match the playlist, the player wins that round!

Tips:

  • Listen carefully—sometimes, the songs might only be played for a short time!

  • If you’re unsure about a song title, ask the host to play it again.

  • Remember, the most important part is to have fun and enjoy the music!
