About Halloween Monsters bingo
A creature-feature card for kids who like their Halloween a little scarier: folklore monsters such as Banshee, Boggart, Kelpie and Headless horseman meet myth beasts (Minotaur, Hydra, Kraken) and monster traits like Fangs, Claws and Glowing eyes. It suits upper-elementary classes, teens and family game nights, and doubles as a quick tour of monster legends from many cultures.
42 entries make up this Halloween Monsters set. With 24 per card, any single one, Crypt for example, appears on about 57% of the cards, so in a room of 30 players around 17 of them have it.
Play it like classic bingo: one person reads the 42 entries in the shuffled order of the caller sheet, everyone marks matching squares, and a full row, column or diagonal wins.
