Timing Tips:
How long a bingo game lasts depends on what pace you read the clues at and how many players you have. If you read faster, such as for older or more experienced students, or if you have more players, the game tends to end more quickly.
In general, I suggest allocating between twenty and thirty minutes to a bingo game. Since they can potentially end as early as the fourth word called, though that is quite rare, I encourage you to keep playing in the event of the game being over earlier than you expected it to be. Almost 90% of bingo games with a 25 word list and 25 players will see their first bingo within 7 to 11 words being called.
Card Customization Tip:
You can use Bingo Card Creator to change the card size. This will help if you do not have a lot of time or for younger audiences.
You can use Bingo Card Creator to add pictures or change the free space to make a truly personalized bingo game .
