3. The Caller generates their call list in random order by visiting https://bingobaker.com/words/3045201. If the caller has printed their list, they can show the players on video chat each image as it is called. If not, the game becomes more challenging! The Caller and the players must rely on their communication skills, as the Caller will describe each image for the players. Once a player calls Bingo!, they screenshot their card and message it to the Caller for verification. If there are any misunderstandings, the game continues until a player reaches a true Bingo!

If you have more than four players, simply download the Sesame Bingo File to access 20 unique cards in addition to the complete Caller List! Players can use tokens like dry beans, rice grains, or pennies to place over each image the Caller calls that also appears on their card.

Caller Instructions: The Caller can call the images in order or randomly. If you call randomly, you'll want to use tokens (beans, rice grains, pennies, etc) to mark each symbol you've called so you can check after a player calls Bingo! You can also cut the images out and pull them from a bowl or bag like you would Scrabble tiles! If you do this, be sure to put each one you've already called aside (not back in the bag), so you can verify a player's claim.
