Step: 2
Download the PDF for the Halloween Bingo Project Pattern. Use the large square and large hexagon pegboards for the game pieces. If you are using a clear pegboard, slide the actual-size pattern underneath it. Place the beads for the project.
Step: 3
Ask an adult to fuse your designs. Place your pegboard on a flat, heat-safe surface. Set a household iron to the medium setting. Place ironing paper over the pegboard. In a circular motion, begin to iron the project. When ironed properly, the beads will still have open centers. Let the design cool.
Step: 4
Remove the paper and bead design from the pegboard. Flip the design over to expose the non-fused side. Repeat the fusing. Let cool completely. Once the design is cool, peel off the ironing paper. Your pegboards and ironing paper are reusable.
Note: Beads need heat for about 10-20 seconds per side to fuse evenly. Lift the paper occasionally to see how the beads are fusing. Additional heating time may be required.
Step: 5
ASSEMBLY: The project sheet includes 8 different bingo cards. Print out the cards on pages 3-6. Trim and mount the matching front and back to white cardstock cut to 4 x 5 inches.
Step: 6
Playing Bingo: Make sure each player has a bingo card and markers—candy corn is perfect for this! Place the Perler bead game pieces into a hat or container for the bingo caller to use. The caller pulls out one game piece at a time, identifying what it is. Players put a marker on the corresponding picture on their card. When the player has marked three in a row—horizontally, vertically, or diagonally—he or she calls out BINGO!
