Bingo On Zoom

Mark your calendars – It’s “Parking Lot Bingo” with It Takes 2 on Sunday, November 1st at the Saint Joe’s Catholic Church at 2pm.

Yes - on the devices we have tested. On most mobiles and tablets it's possible to have Zoom, WhatsApp, etc running in the background while the browser is open. So you can listen to the bingo calls and mark your card on the same device. We cannot guarantee this will work on all devices. Math Bingo on Zoom is one game in a series that you can download on Teacher Sherpa to keep things fun and novel with your students. It even allows you to sneak in a teaching point and fact fluency practice! Students find the sum of the math facts and cross out those numbers on their game board.

You’ll be playing bingo from the comfort and safety of your own car!

Here’s how it’s going to work: You register below, arrive as early as possible, bring your phone, a bingo dauber (or pen) and some willing – and fun – participants!

Only one person per car needs to register. When you get to the parking lot, we’ll assign you to a parking spot (at a safe social distance from other vehicles), we will supply each player with 5 bingo cards. At 2pm, call into our zoom conference and let the games begin! Amy & JJ will be calling the numbers… and, when you get a bingo: HONK YOUR HORN!

So, let’s go over the basics again:

  1. Register your car below. Bring the whole family or just yourself! Only one person needs to register for Bingo, but feel free to pack your car with as many as you can SAFELY fit.
  2. What you need: Fun and willing participants, a phone, and a bingo dauber (or a pen!).
  3. We will start accepting participants at 1pm, bingo starts at 2pm.

Please wear a mask as you enter the parking lot and secure your bingo cards!

Play Bingo on Zoom with your friends or family members online to help pass the boredom and isolation that comes with lockdown and staying at home.

Thanks to the continuation of lockdown and its desired end not being in sight, video apps such as Zoom and Houseparty remain massively popular with people using them to stay in contact with loved ones and mates online while staying at home. While some of these apps include games, Zoom doesn’t but you can still participate in activities such as Bingo with friends by being a bit creative.

There are plenty of games you can play while on Zoom, Houseparty or other video apps such as Heads Up, Pictionary, and – the best at guaranteeing guilty laughs – Cards Against Humanity. However, for elders or those who wish to continue acting as if they’re in a retirement home, Bingo is another of these good games.

Granted, it’s not the most thrilling, but if you wish to play something with friends that isn’t massively taxing then it’s surely for you.

How to play Bingo remotely with friends on Zoom

You can play Bingo remotely with friends on Zoom by scheduling a meeting.

Bingo On Zoom

Once the Zoom meeting time and date is scheduled, share the unique ID with your friends to play Bingo with them during that specified period.

If you’re not the one who is hosting the session, all you need to do is join the meeting by entering the unique ID.

Provided you have the video app downloaded and have the session set up for a later date, you can then begin creating your own Bingo cards.

It’s entirely up to you how you play and how many people participate, but the Independent has shared the idea of making it a movie night in which you all watch the same film simultaneously.

Instead of numbers, your created Bingo cards would have phrases and words most likely to appear, and you all mark them as they occur until a winner is eventually dubbed.

Remember that there are plenty of other games you can play on Zoom and other video apps to stay in contact with people remotely, but Bingo is a good and relaxing get-together for when you want a calm activity as opposed to a frantic one.

You can also make the session more exciting by creating a reward for the winner and/or punishments for the loser(s). But it’s up to you to be safe, responsible, and not stupid when it comes to any hypothetical rewards and consequences.
