If you and your family enjoy watching TV together, then here's a fun idea to make a game of it. TV Bingo doesn't cost a dime, is simple to set up, and is a great pastime for cold or rainy days when you need a fun indoor activity.
Here's How it Works:
- Print out a Television Bingo card for each person playing the game.
- Agree on a television show or movie to watch.
- Before the agreed-upon show starts, each player writes in each of the 24 boxes something they think will happen on the show (For example: Cookie Monster will eat cookies). Older players may need to help younger ones with the writing.
- When everyone's card is filled out, start the show. As events happen during the show, each participant marks their correct guesses off on their BINGO sheet (i.e. as soon as Cookie Monster eats cookies, the person who guessed that event would happen marks it off on their card.)
- The first person to complete an entire row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) calls out BINGO and wins the game!
