About Gift Wrapping and Presents bingo
A card about presents from wrapping to unwrapping. Materials range from Kraft paper and Baker's twine with a Pine sprig or Dried orange slice to a reusable Furoshiki cloth, and the squares cover every wrapping mishap: Paper runs short, Tape stuck to hands, Price sticker left on. On the day, players mark Shake the box, Paper ball fight and the Recycling bin.
On a 5x5 card with a free center, Gift Wrapping and Presents bingo shows 24 of the 45 entries, so each one lands on about 53% of the cards: in a set of 30, Wrapping paper or Tissue paper appears on roughly 16 cards. Card 1 leaves out 21 of them, including Wrapping paper, Gift box and Curling ribbon, so no single card can mark everything.
A host reads out one entry at a time from the printed caller sheet (all 45 of them, shuffled); players daub the square if their card has it and call bingo on a full line.
