Olympics Bingo Cards

How to play Olympics bingo

1. Give each player a card and something to mark squares with.
2. The caller reads words from the caller's list in any order, ticking each one off.
3. Players mark a word when it's called. The middle square is free.
4. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!" and the caller checks the card.

Play along during the game: mark a square when the commentators say it or it happens on the field. First to a line picks the next snack.
