Kids Bingo Game Ideas: For Birthday, Travel Or Anytime!

November 15th, 2009 by sarita

Not only do kids love playing bingo, but it’s a fun way to learn new things from math to grammar, even foreign languages.  Having a few sets of kids bingo games around means they can be engaged in this fun, interesting activity with minimal cost or cleanup.  Birthday party bingo is huge at kids parties, but we think these kids bingo games are fun any time.  Here are a few we like:

Aloha Bingo Game

Aloha Bingo Game features a list of Hawaiian words to call from, and 8 bingo game boards.  Marker pieces with a hibiscus design cover the squares.  Not only is this an interesting way to learn about Hawaiian culture, but the set itself is fun and festive with beautiful colors you’ll love to look at.

Pokemon Bingo

Another fun kids bingo game is Pokemon Bingo. This set includes 16 cards as well as a call sheet and pokemon character markers.  These high-quality cards includes all of the major Pokemon characters

TV “Fan Excuse” Bingo Card Theme

November 11th, 2009 by sarita

A very cute concept for a bingo card!  TV By the Numbers is designing a bingo card with each space containing a fan excuse for why a sitcom was taken off the air.   Some examples:  “It wasn’t promoted enough.” Or, “It needs time to grow.”

Buzzword Bingo Card Generator

Given the number of meetings I sit through, I could easily make a career out of buzzword bingo.  If you’re new to buzzword bingo, here’s an overview:

“Buzzword bingo is generally played in situations where audience members feel that the speaker is just spouting off a bunch of buzzwords rather than providing information or ideas of actual value, and to mask over a lack of actual knowledge. Business meetings led by guest speakers or notable company personalities from higher up the pay scale are often viewed as a good opportunities, as the language used by these speakers often includes predictable references to arcane business concepts, which are perfect for use in the creation of buzzword bingo cards.”

The Spreadsheet Page site posted an Excel workbook file that contains 186 business buzzwords and phrases we know all too well.   It prints 5 x 5 bingo cards for your meeting entertainment.  We think it’s a “win-win!”
