Pretty much every person knows how to play bingo right? Each player gets a card containing a grid of numbers (usually a 5 by 5 grid with a extra "free space" square in the middle), the bingo announcer calls out numbers in random order, plays check off the corresponding numbers from their bingo cards, and the first player to get an agreed upon pattern (usually a line of five in any direction regardless of either it's horizontal, vertical or diagonal), is a the winner. You can buy ready-made bingo cards, so why would anyone make to make their own bingo cards?
The sass lies in the fact that themed variants of the acceptable game have come to be massively more popular in the bingo cards. In themed versions of bingo, the bingo cards are not printed with numbers, but instead are printed with words, phrases, or even math problems.

Probably the most popular themed versions of the game are those based around singular holidays such as Christmas, St. Valentine's Day, Easter, Halloween or July 4th (Us Independence Day). In these variants, they are printed with words or phrases relating to the singular holiday in question, so items like "Angel", "Santa Claus" and "Yule" would be used for Christmas bingo, whereas as words like "Heart", "Love" or "Romance" would be used for St. Valentine's Day bingo.
Versions of bingo using institution bingo cards are also popular in education. Teachers can get ready them based around any branch or chapter plan, and can also vary game play, for example by calling out "clues" and requiring students to find the corresponding word or phrase. In language classes, bingo calls can be made in one language, and students required to match the corresponding word in other language.
In math classes, these can be printed with math problems in each square, and students can be required to write in the definite sass when an item is called, rather than merely tick off a square. Of course, even the acceptable game mechanics can be suitable for classroom use in the right situation - for example, an principal part of learning to read fluently is learning to quickly recognize coarse words (known as "sight words") - and this can be practiced by playing sight word bingo.
