Of course the traditional game of bingo is played using bingo cards printed with a grid of five by five squares, with each square containining a number between 1 and 75 inclusive (sometimes the center square may be marked as “free” or “free space”, and is a “gimme” that players can mark off at any point). The object of the game is to cross off a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line of five squares across the card, the squares being crossed by the player when the bingo caller announces the corresponding number. In classroom and holiday variants of bingo, the squares, instead of containing numbers, contain words or phrases (or math problems in the case of math bingo), but the rules are basically the same.

Holiday versions of bingo of course use bingo cards printed with items chosen for the particular holiday. Thus in a game of Christmas bingo, the squares would contain words like “Bethlehem”, “Mistletoe” or “Rudolph”, in a game of Halloween bingo, “black cat”, “cauldron” or “witch”, and in the case of St. Patrick’s Day (which is of course the Irish national holiday usually falling on March 17th), the items on the cards would be chosen to fit with an Irish theme, for example, the names of places in Ireland, as well as words like “Blarney Stone”, “Guinness” or “shamrock”.
