Woman's Own Bingo

A virtual game night is a fun way for your family, small group, or church family to connect online while we’re all stuck at home.

To be clear, we’re not talking about online video games; we’re talking about board games and parlor games.

There are many ways to host a virtual game night.

First, you’ll need to decide which video conferencing platform your group will use to connect online. Check out Zoom, Webex, FreeConferenceCall, and Jitsi.

Next, you’ll need to decide what game your group will play.

The easiest and likely most convenient way to host a virtual game night is to use a board game you already own.

The game follows ordinary bingo rules, except that it is played while mingling in the classroom or at a party looking for specific 'people' characteristics. It's fun, easy to make the cards, organize the game, and play people bingo, particularly because nearly everyone knows the rules.

One person will need to serve as the host, reading clues, and giving directions. Depending on the game, they might not be able to play but serve instead as the scorekeeper.

  1. Is a fictional strip club from the HBO drama television series The Sopranos. It was a key location for events in the series, named for the catchphrase 'bada bing', a phrase popularized by James Caan's character Sonny Corleone in The Godfather.
  2. Since we cannot hold our weekly bingo or any other large gathering, we have been sitting in front of the firehouse every day selling your wide variety of pull-tab games. The popularity of them has enabled us to keep our doors open and our lights on, and to continue to provide the level of service our community has come to expect from us.
  3. The last month has been stressful for many people, so you might be looking to blow off a little steam by enjoying a drinking game during the Inauguration festivities today. Whether the drinking.

Think through:

  1. Will people play individually or in teams?
  2. Is this game better for a smaller group (10 or less) or a larger group?
  3. Will teammates need to use text messaging to communicate with one another?
  4. Is this a game a family could play together?

Here are a few board games I’d recommend trying to play virtually:

  • Boggle (set up a camera over the letters)
  • Scattergories
  • Balderdash
  • Blank Slate
  • Pictionary
  • Catchphrase

You could also use a whiteboard (Zoom has a whiteboard feature) to play:

  • Hangman
  • Pictionary
  • DRACT

Side note: I found this word generator online that could be used to play Pictionary, charades, or Catchphrase.

My favorite large group game to play virtually is bingo.

  • Bingo needs little instruction, other than what squares qualify a win (5 in a row, 4 corners, full card).
  • Participants can easily find free printable bingo cards online, like here and here, Or they can download a Bingo card app and play on their phone.
  • Often someone in the group owns a bingo game, and they can call the numbers out.
  • All but the youngest children can play too.

For those who want to take their bingo game up to the next level, there is a free interactive PowerPoint version of bingo you can stream. A click of the button randomly selects the numbers, and you can see at a glance which numbers have been called. It’s easy to use and lots of fun!
