(Print) Use this randomly generated list as your call list when playing the game. There is no need to say the BINGO column name. Place some kind of mark (like an X, a checkmark, a dot, tally mark, etc) on each cell as you announce it, to keep track. You can also cut out each item, place them in a bag and pull words from the bag.

“Where am I?!” moment
10.
Start with, “You wouldn’t believe what happened the other day…” and end with a tale from the 1970s.
Pop a candy in your mouth, preferably from your pocket or purse. Bonus if it’s unwrapped and linty.
Start talking, trail off mid-thought, stare into the distance, then say “Now what was I saying?”
Rock back and forth, grunt, and finally rise with a loud “Oof!” or “There we go!”
