How to play

Print page 1 for the quizmaster and the cards on pages 2 to 5, one card per player or team. Every card is shuffled differently.
The quizmaster reads the questions out in order, without the answer. Whoever finds the answer on their card crosses it off.
Four crosses in a row, a column or a diagonal: Bingo! The quizmaster checks the crosses against the list; if one is wrong, the game goes on.
