Party Bingo – The
Life of Any Party
If you think Party Bingo isn’t the game
for your next party, you haven’t given Bingo much thought.
The real attraction for this game as a party game is that it can
be adapted to any theme and can be made fun for any age group. Even
teens who may be otherwise reluctant to get involved with a party
game may be enthralled with the fun of a Party Bingo game.
Start by carefully choosing your Party Bingo game to match the abilities
of your players. Even children as young as four can cover pictures.
Make the game as easy or complex as your players need it to be in
order to have fun.
Get inventive with your Party Bingo covering dots. Hand out M&Ms,
Reese’s Pieces or other candies for your players to use to
mark their Bingo cards. Be sure to hand out extras so that snacking
doesn’t mean players won’t be able to get their cards
covered. Looking for something healthier? Hand out dried banana chips,
raisins or even popcorn. Want something that won’t fall off
for your Party Bingo covers? Use stickers or hand out markers, just
like they use at the Bingo Halls.
One of the great things about Party Bingo is that you can put your
home computer to work to make these games very personal. For a girl’s
sleepover, print them on pink, add flowers to the border or print
the date, time and reason for the party to serve as a keepsake. When
the girls arrive, snap digital photos (or do it ahead of time), then
use those as decoration on the Party Bingo cards. For boys, replace
flowers with soccer balls and pink with blue. Whatever the occasion,
you’ll find the opportunity to make your Party Bingo cards
reflect that theme.
You can also replace the numbers of a traditional Bingo card with
words or pictures. Use the names of your party participants, words
associated with the reason for the party or make up words of your
own. Are you a teacher? Use words from your text book to drive home
lessons while playing Party Bingo.
You can also buy prepackaged Party Bingo games in a variety of themes
- from football to Easter bunnies to cards and numbers is red, white
and blue. No matter why you’re throwing a party or who’s
attending, you’ll find that Party Bingo can be adapted to entertain
your participants.
