Bingo is a favourite in so many homes and aged care activity programs, and these cards make it even easier to join in. Each card has little sliding windows over the numbers, so when a number is called you simply slide the window across to cover it. There are no chips to pick up, nothing to knock off the table, and no pens or daubers needed.

The numbers are printed large and bold in a classic 5 x 5 grid, which makes them easy to read. Each card is a different bright colour, so it’s easy to tell whose is whose. When the game is over, slide the windows back and you’re ready for the next round.

What you get

• 5 large-print slide bingo cards, each a different colour
• Each card is about 17.5 x 17.5 cm (6.9 x 6.9 in)
• Classic 1 to 75 number layout with a free centre square
• Built-in sliding windows to mark the numbers, so no chips or daubers needed
• Reusable, game after game

How to play

1. Give each player a card.
2. The caller picks numbers from 1 to 75 at random and reads them out clearly.
3. Players slide the window over any number on their card that is called.
4. The first to complete a line across, down or diagonally calls “Bingo!”

You’ll need a way to call the numbers, such as numbered balls or slips of paper in a bowl, or a free bingo caller app.

Ideas for the activity

• Small groups: five cards suit a table of friends or a small activity group.
• Bigger groups: order two or more packs so everyone has a card.
• Little prizes: a biscuit, a flower or first pick of the morning tea keeps everyone smiling.

A carer or caregiver can help call the numbers and keep the game moving at a comfortable pace.
