Halloween Bingo Marothon Games
...will start Monday morning my time,  (which is anytime from midnight a.m. to whenever I get up...lol) 
 
and will end when I either run out of games or players, or decide to quit calling and go to bed!
 
It is now 2:53 pm here in Texas... so mark your time in your time zone.
 
After you read this... you can go ahead and start posting your Halloween cards to be ready to start playing at midnight.
(Game 6 will be ending later today...no doubt!)  
 
To post your cards:... start ONE 'new discussion' thread here in the bingo hall, and title it   Halloween Cards for ________ .  and put your name where the blank is.   You can start your thead with any kind of Halloween decorations you may want.  
 
Then you will add your cards below that in as many reply windows as games you want to play.
 
These are the games that will be played:
(in no particular oder during the day...more details later)
 
H - for Halloween
 
G - for Ghost
 
W -for Witch
 
P - for Pumpkin
 
C - for Candy
 
Straight Line...(don't know how many yet)
 
Cover Up
 
(1) Throughout the day several individual games will be played at random.
 
(2)..In the afternoon... one big long game, called "Cover Up" will be played from 1pm to 5pm my time.   Details will be posted separately, soon.  
 
You may play as many cards as you are willing to take time to make and to post here in the bingo hall.
 
For an easy way to play, you might want to also have your cards written out on paper at home and you can mark them that way...
 
I'm going to be calling the number pretty fast tomorrow, and it may be easier for you to just mark them off on paper with a pen or a highlighter.  The choice is yours, as always.
 
To Make Your Cards:
Use the samples below...
 
If you just want to use one card for each Letter game, you may keep the cards together like in the sample, and just copy/ paste the whole 6-card sample grid below into your card thread.
 
If you want to play several cards of any one letter game... just follow the diagram while making your own cards using the regular blank cards here in the bingo hall...
 
How to fill in For the Letter games:
 
Use the samples below, and just replace each x with a number... following the same number column guideline chart as for all regular bingo games.  
 
On the Letter cards, please note:   You do not have to have alll of the other blanks on the cards filled in, because those spots will not help you form the winning letter.  
 
You can only 'bingo' when the numbers I call match the numbers on your card that form the letter of the game I am calling.

Halloween Bingo Marothon Games
...will start Monday morning my time,  (which is anytime from midnight a.m. to whenever I get up...lol) 
 
and will end when I either run out of games or players, or decide to quit calling and go to bed!
 
It is now 3:20 pm here in Texas... so mark your time in your time zone.
 
After you read all of this... and be sure and read all of it slowly to absorb all the information,... then you may go ahead and start posting your Halloween cards to be ready to start playing at midnight. 
 
 (Game 6 will be ending later today...no doubt!)  
 
How to post your cards for playing the Halloween  games:
 
... start ONE 'new discussion' thread here in the bingo hall, and title it   Halloween Cards for ________ .  (and put your name where the blank is).   You can start your thead with any kind of Halloween decorations you may want.   You can go ahead and do this before you make up any cards!
 
Then, you will add your cards to that thread, in as many reply windows as you need for the games you are wanting to play.
 
You can play as few, or as many games as you wish... it's up to you and how much time you want to spend with bingo.
 
("Regular" bingo, game 7.. will resume later in the week)
 
These are the games that will be played:
 
(in no particular oder during the day...more details later)
Post them on your Halloween Card thread in any order you want...)
 
H - for Halloween
 
G - for Ghost
 
W -for Witch
 
P - for Pumpkin
 
C - for Candy
 
Straight Line...( maybe?? 
Will be fast games, how  
many depends on time
available for them)  Have a
card or cards ready, in case.
 
Cover Up..
one long game in the afternoon.
'how to' details will be posted
separate from this.
Fast game... fill out card with
numbers, play as many as you think
you will be able to watch and mark.
 
.........................................................
 
Schedule of Games for Halloween Day:
 
(1) Throughout the day several individual games will be played at random.
 
(2)..In the afternoon... one big long game, called "Cover Up" will be played from 1pm to 5pm my time.   Details will be posted separately, soon.  
 
"How can I mark for so many games???" you ask...
 
For an easy way to play, you might want to also have your cards written out on paper at home and you can mark them that way...
 
I'm going to be calling the number pretty fast tomorrow, and it may be easier for you to just mark them off on paper with a pen or a highlighter.  The choice is yours, as always.
 
How To Do Your Cards:
 
If you just want to use only one card for each Letter game, you may simply keep the cards together like in the sample below, and just copy/ paste the whole 6-card sample grid below into your card thread.
 
If you want to play several cards of any one letter game... just follow the diagram while making your own cards using the regular blank cards here in the bingo hall...just like you do for a regular game.  Get your cards here, ..### PICK UP YOUR CARDS HERE ###.
 
If you need help making your card grids,  I'll be most happy to do that for you.  Just let me know.
 
How to fill in For the Letter games:
 
Use the samples below, and just replace each x with a number... following the same number column guideline chart as for all regular bingo games.  
 
On the Letter cards, please note:   You do not have to have all of the other blanks on the cards filled in, because those spots will not help you form the winning letter.  
 
You can only 'bingo' when the numbers I call match the numbers on your card that form the letter of the game I am calling. 
 
Details for "how" I will call the games will be posted later.
 
For now... just go ahead and get you some cards made and posted.  
 
I promise... you will have time to play them... these games will be called differently than our regular games.
