2018-04-17 06:06:36 PM marie we upt our bingo to 2 times weelly
2018-04-17 06:06:40 PM delanie02 What are the bingo coupons?
2018-04-17 06:06:46 PM hbernath My residents love bingo, they get mad when things come up and bingo is changed to something else
2018-04-17 06:06:50 PM laurajackson I have that problem to. They love Bingo
2018-04-17 06:06:53 PM elijahhanley55 i do mines 5x a week
2018-04-17 06:06:56 PM elijahhanley55 lol
2018-04-17 06:06:59 PM doreenschaffer I tried scrabble two weeks ago and it was a failure. Only 3 of the 15 could understand it.
2018-04-17 06:07:04 PM kaylacanvin i am on a memory unit, and if i change bingo to a more exciting bingo, they ask me when we will play bingo...i can't win
2018-04-17 06:07:08 PM dmartin you can get residents who dont like bingo to participate have them call or have them put the balls in the right slots
2018-04-17 06:07:11 PM ahenwood My residents love to play yatzee but we simpliufy it by only playing the top half of the cards, numbers 1-6. Bingo we play four times a week
2018-04-17 06:07:16 PM dianep Most of my residents are still very independent and like doing this on their own. Board games aren' t a big hit for us.
2018-04-17 06:07:17 PM nicoled yeah, i like to do word in a word
2018-04-17 06:07:28 PM kathyhughes If they had tablets or computers there is a site where they can play Bingo to their hearts content
2018-04-17 06:07:29 PM robertambadger same here..it's the only activity that some of them even wheeltheirselves to
2018-04-17 06:07:36 PM michellelheldt tried scrabble also only 2 of 48 came
2018-04-17 06:07:37 PM kathyhughes It is called Pogo
2018-04-17 06:07:38 PM lisaad delanie02 I think the bingo cou[ons are like bingo bucks--you get one when you win and then can spend them at the end of the month on things
2018-04-17 06:07:39 PM elijahhanley55 thats a good idea dmartin
2018-04-17 06:07:44 PM dmartin dominoes are also a hit
2018-04-17 06:07:44 PM sunshine2018 we play bingo and get tgem an option for candy or play money and then they can buy things from our store.
2018-04-17 06:07:46 PM oliviabrokenshire We do bingo once a week...we used to do it two but I got it down to one. I think there are other things to help stimulate thier minds but they would play every day if they could.
2018-04-17 06:07:50 PM jessicas I got jumbo dice for yahtzee and they love the huge dice
2018-04-17 06:07:52 PM trisha1903 We would have a up raising if we did not have bingo

2018-04-17 06:08:25 PM wilmaholt At our facility bingo is not fading and we started with continuing with the bingo since residents are always asking for it but not having the typical bingo. We have "B O" Bingo where just the letters B and O are called and when they win they have to say I have B O bingo.
