In our big Solar System, there are 8 planets, like heroes in Star Wars:
Mercury (the tiniest one)
Venus (the hottest planet)
Earth (our very own home)
Mars (with the biggest volcano)
Jupiter (the giant of them all)
Saturn (with the coolest rings)
Uranus (spins on its side, a little different)
Neptune (far, far away from the Sun)

And you know what? Not all these planets are made of rock! Some of them, the ones really, really far from the Sun, are made of something special called gas. They’re called giants because they’re super-duper huge and heavy!

HOW TO PLAY

Materials:

1. Bingo cards – Each player needs a card with a grid of planets.
2. Bingo markers – Players mark off called planets or Martian. Character on their cards.
3. Bingo caller – Randomly announces planets by drawing them from a selection.

Setup:

1. Distribute Bingo cards to each player.
2. Each card should have a different arrangement of planets.
3. Ensure every player has a Bingo marker, like small coins or buttons.

How to Play:

1. The game commences as the announcer randomly selects a planet by drawing from the facedown cards.
2. The caller announces the planet to all players.
3. Players mark off the announced planet on their cards if it appears.
4. The game continues with the caller announcing more planets.
5. Players continue marking off planets on their cards.
6. The first player to complete a specific pattern (line, four corners, blackout, etc.) shouts “Bingo!” and wins the round.
7. If using multiple rounds, collect used cards and distribute new ones for the next round.

Patterns:

• Single Line: Complete a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal line.
• Four Corners: Fill all four corner spaces.
• Full Solar System/Blackout: Mark off every planet on the card.

Winning:

• The player who first completes the specified pattern should shout “Bingo!” to claim their win.
• Once a win is declared, the game pauses, and the winner’s card is verified.

Verification:

• The caller checks the marked numbers on the winning card against the planets they called.
• If the planets match and the pattern is valid, the player is declared the winner.
