Penny birds are the small, colorful pieces of plastic that are used in Bingo games. Players use these pieces to make their Bingo cards.
There are a variety of penny birds, and each one has a specific use in a Bingo game.
One penny bird is used as the “Bingo” marker. This bird is placed at the first spot on every player’s Bingo card.
The other players then use these markers to help them identify the numbers on their cards.
Players also use penny birds to identify the different colors of Bingo balls. These balls are usually blue, green, or pink, and each color has its own set of rules for how it can be used in a game.
For example, green balls can only be used to mark numbers 0-9, while pink balls can only be used to mark numbers 2-20.
In some cases, penny birds are also used as “wild” cards. When this happens, they replace all of the other cards in the player’s hand.
This can be helpful if the player is trying to complete a certain pattern or if they have a high-value card that they would like to keep secret until they are able to use it in a game.
