    Playing Bingo is a favorite activity for residents in aged care. Many seniors can join in the fun, even if they need a little bit of guidance and assistance. It can get quite competitive! Winners are thrilled to receive a prize, but traditional options like chocolate bars, potato chips, wrapped biscuits, or cake might not suit everyone due to dietary restrictions. This is where Bingo Bucks for seniors become a good idea. They offer an alternative for prize giving.

    Throughout the month, residents can win Bingo Bucks. These can then be used to purchase items at a pop-up shop organized by the activity staff. Here are some ideas to get your shop up and running…


    A Guide for Bingo Bucks for Seniors:

    Pop-up Stores

    Have the pop-up store open every fortnight or once a month. This will give the residents something to look forward to and a great shopping opportunity. Here are some photo examples of how you could display your Bingo Bucks store.

    Buy items from a discount store cheaply and ask for donations for the pop-up store. Keep all items stored in plastic tubs with lids. Have items priced from $1  to $10 for the residents to purchase, they can save their Bingo Bucks to buy a more substantial item.

    Some great ideas for items are hand cream, shampoo & conditioners (mini), hair brushes, combs, tissues, soaps, costume jewelry, books, note pads, and pens, donated soft toys, sweets, biscuits, crisps, etc. the choices are endless.


    Print out your Bingo Bucks for Seniors

    For multiple uses, print out Bingo Bucks and laminate them. You could use the facilities logo, stamp or name on the dollars. Make $1, $2, and $5 Bingo Bucks. Examples are $1 could be for a full lineup, $5 for a full house, or for the last bingo game of the day.

    Since Bingo Bucks can be lost or misplaced by some residents, it’s important to keep a log of winners and the amount they’ve won. A clear zip-up pencil case with the resident’s name on each case is a good way to keep everyone’s Bingo Bucks safe and organized. Let residents look after their winnings and for those who need some help keep them stored in a safe place.


    Key Takeaway
