We are doing almost the same thing, even residents that normally don't play BINGO are interested. I post the #'s on our activity board , this gets the residents out of there room if only for a brief moment. (the staff donate money to the pot) .Social distancing of course.
We used shelled peanuts, and the residents had a great time!! I wasn't even finished and they were asking when we were doing it again. I am planning another closer to Christmas so that they may get some gifts for family or friends they are excited. I have asked the staff if they would donate and small gifts.
I cannot tell you all enough how useful your website is. I absolutely love it--it has so many resources that meet the needs of residents in all levels of care. I'm on your site daily. Thank you all so much for sharing with us!!
