WHAT IS LOTERIA?• LOTERIA is Mexican bingo,

but it is played differently

than American Bingo.

• LOTERIA is played with

pictures instead of

letter/number combinations.

• In the game of LOTERIA, a

riddle is called out as a clue,

and you must figure out the

picture that goes with it to

cover the space on your card.

HOW DO YOU PLAY?• EACH PERSON WILL HAVE A LOTERIA

CARD AND SOME BEANS.

• THE CALLER WILL READ A RIDDLE OUT LOUD, AND YOU MUST FIND THE PICTURE THAT MATCHES. COVER IT WITH A BEAN.

• YOU MAY WIN IN TWO DIFFERENT WAYS:

1. BE THE FIRST TO COVER A LINE EITHER

HORIZONTALLY, VERTICALLY, OR DIAGONALLY

2. BE THE FIRST TO COVER EVERY SQUARE

• YOU MUST YELL “LOTERIA!” WHEN YOU WIN!

GETTING STARTED• FIRST, think about what picture you want to

paint. Make it a familiar image from daily life.

• NEXT, pick a number to go in the top left corner, and find the Spanish word for your object.
