HOW TO PLAY INSECT BINGO You can play for a line (5 in a row) or a full card. The first person to get a line says “Bingo!”. You can keep playing afterwards for more lines if you have more prizes to give out. There are 30 calling cards to choose from so a full card may result in having a few people winning at the same time depending on the number of players. We recommend playing mostly for lines because of this. Mix up the cards and start a new game after a few lines have been won.Another challenge is by making an X across your bingo card. To get a bingo, you must have two diagonal lines from corner-to-corner crossing in the center. These fun Bug Bingo Cards have been such lifesavers for us.
