3. Add Variations to the Game

Bingo doesn’t just have to be played sitting at a picnic table. Give them a couple of ways to switch it up:

• Hiking/Scavenger Bingo: “Instead of drawing calling cards, take the bingo sheets on a hike! The girls can mark off the items as they actually spot them in real life.”
• Flashlight Bingo: “Play inside the tent at night using flashlights to illuminate their boards.”
