TRAVEL BINGO
Travel bingo is bingo that can be played on the move. There are several types of travel bingo games available, and in this article we look at the three most popular options. Going away is something everyone needs to do at some point. Whether the trip is a planned vacation or a business trip, traveling is something that most people do every year. Travel bingo ensures that all players do not miss out on their games. From road trips to airplane journeys to cruises – you can play bingo anywhere, anytime, no matter where you are.
There are a number of interesting variations of travel bingo aside from the traditional number bingo. There are games especially for children, games for grown up’s and games that the whole family can play.
For the younger members of the family, the most popular travel bingo game is similar to a game of ‘I Spy’. This game is played with 2 players, using red and yellow magnet chips. Players share a magnetic board, and whenever a dog, plain, flag, bridge or other landmark is spotted players place their marker on the board. The first person to place the last marker on the board is the winner of the game. This game is great for parents, as it keeps the kids absorbed during long trips.
Grown up’s can play a game of ‘Back Seat Bingo’. This is similar to the younger travel bingo version, but players have their own cards and the game is played in the same 5x5 grid as traditional bingo games. Objects are determined beforehand, whether players choose road signs, license plates or other objects. Once these have been chosen, a description is written in each square of the grid. Players then mark an ‘X’ in each box as they see the objects. The first to get a row on five going down, across or diagonally wins bingo.
