Hi - we run a social and luncheon club for aprox 25 members. We recently ran your valentine's bingo game which was great, the only issue was that ideally we needed more cards as when bingo was called, I only had 2 cards left and we had 8 winners calling bingo!!!

I regularly use Golden Carers for various activities and think your ideas are great.

We are holding an Easter day soon and will be making the cardboard easter baskets, adding small chocolate eggs, having a quiz, using wordsearch and crossword whilst displaying posters. Thanks for all your help and support - its invaluable.

I printed off the pages but i am confused on how to play the game?

Hi Robbii, the same rules for regular bingo apply, you just used calling cards instead of balls with numbers on them. Cut up the cards and draw one randomly from a box each turn. Hope that helps.

I would love it if you added more cards to the set. We have groups larger than the number of cards given.

Hi Jami, we are working on some updates to our bingo module which will allow you to choose how many cards to generate. In the meantime, if you download Sara's publisher file that she supplied in the comments section you can make more cards if you would like to. Good luck!

Hello,

This is such a great idea. Would it be possible to upload it as a word document, I work for an ethnic center and will need to translate it into the appropriate language.

Thank you

I made it with Microsoft Publisher, I attached it here. I made a few changes since I first posted it.

Thankyou Sara for the Valentines Day Bingo, I'm a bit confused though, as to what to do!!! Do I print out the full pages and laminate, one per resident each game and then print out and laminate small cards sufficient to match to the different pictures? Then the 'caller' calls the names on the big set and residents try to get a line or complete set?? Sorry to have to have it spelt out!!

The st valentines day dementia bingo activity was a great success.We have mostly middle stage dementia club members and this can be quite challenging at times, keeping everyone happy.

We found those most able to play helped the others which was a joy to see, they especially love a small winners prize .

thankyou once again

Great, looking forward to it Sara. Your bingo is the best I have found. It isn't too childish looking and that is important.
