Hi Marianne, Music Bingo is so much fun. You don’t necessarily need a musician; just a good selection of music, either from YouTube or CDs. The first thing to do is to choose the genre: country, pop, rock n’ roll. Then make cards including the names of songs and artists/bands. Buy Top 40 CDs or look on YouTube selection for Hits of the 1060s, 1970s or 1980s. Also, any Top Hundred hits will give dozens of well-known songs to play Music Bingo.
They have some ready made music bingo games at enasco.com I have used music bingo 1 and music bingo 2 with a memory care group at the library where I work. They enjoy it. All the songs are old. I prefer the second personally. I haven't tried the others on the page yet.
For Valentine's day we used to have square dancers but now the club is no more... people just dont square dance anymore.....i was thinking of things to do ...any ideas....thanks in advance
Hi, I printed out the picture music bingo and laminated them I draw the Call cards out of a box and hold it up and sing (not very well!) the first line of the songs. We love it at our centre! Lots of laughter! We reminisced about who wrote the songs and who sang them first, then googled each of the songs to confirm the answers.
Thank you so much for such an awesome resource and to everyone for sharing their ideas. It takes the pressure off and allows more time to be spent with the ones we are caring for who after all need our time more than anything else. I am looking forward to reading as much as I can get my hands on and finding ways to improve the lives of our valuable community members and bring some sunshine in. Much appreciated :)
Any suggestion.
Thank you
Marianne
