Bingo is a game that people can play in many different ways. It can be as simple as drawing numbers off of a piece of paper, or it can involve more complex rules and more pieces of equipment.
Regardless of the specific rules and how it is played, there are generally six basic components to Bingo: the board, the numbers, the balls, the spacebar, the caller, and the player.
The board is typically a large sheet of paper that has spaces arranged in a grid. The numbers are typically printed on small cards and players use these cards to indicate which numbers they want to hit. The balls are also typically small and are used to mark off numbers when they are hit by the player or when they are thrown by the caller.
The spacebar is used to indicate when a number has been hit and the caller will shout out when this happens. The player then marks off this number on their piece of paper with a ball or their finger.
The caller is responsible for directing players where to hit their balls and will also call out when a number has been hit. Sometimes there will be more than one caller working at one time and they will alternate calling out different numbers.
The caller also helps keep track of how many numbers have been hit so that players know when it is their turn to hit again.
