Is the kit really free?

Yes. The PDF downloads straight from the site, with no sign-up and no email.

Do I need the app to use the kit?

No. The checklist, the rules, the prizes and the cards work for any bingo. The draw page shows the way with the app and the way with slips of paper.

Can I print it in black and white?

Yes. Almost every page has a white background, and the text stays readable without color.

My printer uses Letter paper. Does it work?

Yes. The kit is A4: in the print window, choose "Fit to page" and nothing gets cut off.

Does it work for a school, club or community center bingo?

Yes. The checklist and the rules are the same; what grows is the number of cards and prizes.

Can I charge for cards or give cash prizes?

That's not the bingo this kit is for. In the kit's bingo, nobody pays to play, and prizes are bought or donated. Bingo for money is regulated, or banned, depending on where you live: in Brazil, for example, it's a misdemeanor under article 50 of Decree-Law 3,688/1941. Check your local rules before collecting any money.

Bingo Night Planning Kit

October 27, 20264 min read

Planning a bingo takes more work the week before than on the night itself: remembering the cards, setting aside the prizes, agreeing on the rules, testing the phone on the TV. We put all of it into a free printable kit, seven pages long, for bingo with family, friends or your group.

What's in the kit

One week before. the list of what to agree on, gather and test, with a box to check off each item.
On the day. the draw step by step in the app, from the first tap to the celebration, with each button named the way it appears on the screen.
Bingo rules. a large-print sheet to put up on the wall, with room for your house rules and the most played patterns.
Prizes. a prize for every moment of the night, ideas by age and the prizes that cost nothing.
Cards. how to print them for free with the card generator, the shop's packs of 1,000 cards and how many to print.
The app. what Bingo Pé Quente does for the caller and for the players.

Pages 2 to 7 of the kit: the checklist for the week before, the draw step by step in the app, the bingo rules for the wall, prizes by moment and by age, the cards and the app — Pages 2 to 7 of the kit. The cover, page 1, has the table of contents.

How to use the kit

Print it all a week ahead and work through the checklist on page 2. On the day, the rules sheet, page 4, goes up on the wall where everyone can read it. The caller keeps page 3 close by.

You don't have to print everything. The PDF reads fine on a phone too, and its links go straight to the card generator, the blog and the app. To save ink, almost every page has a white background.

The most played patterns

The wall sheet has the six patterns almost every bingo uses. Agree beforehand which one counts in each round: the quick ones open the night, and the blackout is saved for the grand prize.

Complete line

A whole row: across, down or diagonal.

Four corners

The four corners of the card.

Letter X

Both diagonals, crossing in the middle.

Cross

The middle column and the middle row.

Picture frame

The whole border of the card.

Blackout

Every number: the grand prize of the night.

All six are among the 18 classic patterns in the app's free version. More patterns, and how to spot each one on your card, are in bingo patterns.

Where does the phone come in?

The kit works without a phone: 75 slips of paper in a bag do the cage's job. With Bingo Pé Quente, the caller just taps the screen. The app draws from 1 to 75 with no repeats, calls each ball out loud and shows the number big on the TV, through the phone's screen mirroring. When someone calls BINGO, the caller checks the paper card against the balls on the screen, and a tie is settled with the highest ball, as explained in a tie in bingo.

All of that is part of the free version. The app is free to download on Google Play, for Android phones.
