Little Witch Hazel and her friends love to play Bingo whenever they get a chance.
Can you play too by matching up tiles with the pictures on the boards?
2-4 PLAYERS
You can use your imagination to devise your own way to play, or you can play the way Little Witch Hazel does.
First, she and her friends each pick a game board.
Then, they shuffle the game tiles and lay them face down in a grid. OR, they shuffle the tiles and draw them from the lid of the game box, just make sure they’re all face down!
Each player then takes turns pulling one tile at a time — Hazel usually lets the youngest of her friends go first — and if it matches a picture on their board, they get to put it on top of the matching square!
If it doesn’t match, they let everyone see it before putting it back where they pulled it from.
When you fill your board, yell “Bingo!”
1 PLAYER
Don’t have anyone to play with? Little Witch Hazel plays alone sometimes, too. She shuffles and puts all the game tiles face down, then spreads out the four season boards in front of her.
She then pulls game tiles one at a time, matching them to the game board, and the first game board filled is the winning season!
