Christmas Party BINGO!!

We all have to attend at least one! It might be with family, or work mates, neighbours or, if you're really lucky, friends.  Some of us love these social gatherings!  Some of us, would rather be in our PJ's, eating gingerbread or popcorn or chocolate while you watch Die Hard.  If this is you, I have a great game you can play, with your friends (even if they aren't at the party) and inject a bit of fun into the holiday festivities.

It's Christmas Party BINGO!

Click save as on the image above for your own copy OR you can create your own.  It was really easy.  Just create a 5x5 table in Word (landscape orientation) and fill in the squares with events, objects, names or other things holiday related.  Here are some variations of playing this game.
1. Everyone gets a bingo board and the first to tick off 5 in a row (in any direction) wins.
2. Write a date and time in each square so you know who really did see grandparents first!
3. For the square to count, a player needs to send a photo/ video to all the other players.
4. If bragging rights aren't enough to motivate your mates, have everyone donate something to a prize pool.
5. Mix it up by requiring 5 squares that aren't touching or the FREE square has to be included.  You could make it 4 in a row or the whole board.
6. Play like tic-tac-toe.  You play on the same board so opponents can block you from earning the square if they get it first.
7. Play it with a friend and just laugh!

Christmas can be a difficult and tiring time for many people. It's supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year, so if you're dreading the thought, go on - right click.  Choose some relatively harmless silliness.

It's completely fat free... you don't have to eat the gingerbread!  It doesn't have to cost you a cent.
