Anyone who has been in a bingo hall during a game can tell you that most of the people playing are there to win money or prizes. It's difficult to remember that it's a game and it's actually fun to play. It becomes more like a job than a game when you take it too seriously. Here are some steps to help you have fun again when playing the game, and when you focus on the fun and not just winning you may get pleasantly surprised!
Instructions
Play Bingo For Fun
1. Choose some non-cash gifts as prizes. If you are hosting a small bingo game at your home with your family or friends, forget about the traditional cash winnings. Make the prizes fun. For instance you can go to a dollar store and pick up some dollar items and wrap them up in festive paper. Give one away for a winning game. You can also give personal coupons out to winners such as one evening of free baby sitting, or running an errand for the winner.
2. Bring snacks! Whether you are playing in your home among family and friends, or in a professional bingo hall, refreshments are always welcome. They help to create a more relaxed and leisurely experience. Don't make the snacks too complicated or messy. Finger foods like vegetables and dip, or chips and popcorn are always good.
3. Budget your evening of bingo at a bingo hall. Don't spend too much money at on cards. It can get a little costly and if you don't win anything you will likely leave the hall feeling that you have lost. It also can be hard to watch many bingo cards at one time and it will take much of your concentration away from the friends you are with.
4. Talk to your bingo partners and have fun, but do most of it quietly or between games and during breaks. Be respectful of other players. People in bingo halls take the game very seriously and they become easily annoyed with loud talking, laughing, and even gum chewing.
