I have no idea how this works so am starting this thread so someone can explain it to me.
A regular bingo card is 5 x 5 with the middle square 'free'.
Some chore bingo cards I find online are 4 x 4.
Which will it be? We need to standardize or I can't see the number calling working.
I assume we'll each fill in the chores that work for us. Even if it is 5x5 I can't imagine any of us having trouble coming up with 25 (or 24 if there's a free spot) chores that need doing.
I figure we can each number our squares however we want, horizontally, vertically, randomly, but 1 - 25 so we all have the same amount of numbers. (Or to 20 if we decide the smaller board is necessary.)
Is someone going to 'call out' a square and we all go do whatever is in that square on our own charts?
This is the part I'm most unclear about. Please explain how the numbers are decided upon.
Here's a random number generator if we need one.

Or perhaps Harriet starts us off with a number and then the first person with that task completed calls out a different number, etc. etc.
I'm obviously overthinking this but this is something I need so I want to do it 'right' (would that be my perfectionist personality paralysing me?)
If we are playing all week, a refillable board isn't a bad idea. One idea I saw was to draw the grid on a large piece of paper (I've taped 2 legal size pieces of paper together), and write the chores on post-it Notes and place them randomly. You then remove the note when the chore is done.
Harriet: I expect you to be the leader on this.
