Here's how it works:

1. 🫶Friendship Bingo Card🫶: This special card is filled with prompts that celebrate the spirit of friendship. Each prompt can be used to find and read books that fit these prompts.

2. 🌟Miscellaneous Bingo Card🌟: This card is a delightful mix of letters, pictures, and numbers. Let your imagination soar as you interpret the pictures and associate them with book covers, story elements, or symbolic representations. Seek out books that have a connection to these pictures. Additionally, hunt for titles or authors' names that contain specific letters on the card. You can match the numbers on the card with the page count or the titles of the books you choose to read.

3. 📚Buddy Reading🤩: July is the perfect time to celebrate World Friendship Day (July 30th) by engaging in buddy reading. Find fellow book enthusiasts with similar interests and embark on a shared reading experience. Buddy reading not only enhances your connection with others but also earns you extra points on your Bingo Card.

Sure, all the best!

Question: Do the miscellaneous patterns have to be achieved on the miscellaneous board to count, or could I aim for, for example, an X on the Friendship card?

You can, each pattern is valid for each card, only that 4 miscellaneous patterns can be chosen for each card (out of 16).

Okay thanks!

Thank you for sharing how to do the Bingo. I won't play this time. I hope all the players have fun. Maybe I could come in and see how it's played?

This isn't the general challenge thread but you're more than welcome to keep up with my challenge if you want!
