How to play at a reunion
A reunion can have forty people who all know different parts of the family. Bingo gives cousins who have never met a reason to talk and gives older relatives a chance to share stories with younger ones.
- Hand every guest a card when they check in at the welcome table.
- Explain that some squares are for watching, such as a four-generation photo, and others are for conversation, such as finding someone who remembers the old farm.
- Guests mark squares during the day and ask relatives to initial any square they found in conversation.
- Gather everyone in the afternoon for a bingo round. The first card with a row wins a prize, but all cards go into a draw for the big prize.
Ideas to try
- Generation teams. Mix ages on teams so that each team has a great-grandparent, a parent and a child. They fill one card together.
- Sign here bingo. Each square is an initial from a relative who matches a description, such as someone born in another state or someone who has a twin.
- Photo hunt. Guests take pictures of each completed square and add them to a shared family album.
Tips for organizers
Put a laminated sample card on a table with a pen so people understand the game without explanation. Reunions are noisy, so signs work better than announcements.
Offer prizes with a family flavor, like a jar of homemade jam, a cookbook from the family kitchen or a small plant for the garden.
Print a few cards in large type for older relatives who might struggle with small text, and keep a stack of pens on every table.
Printing for a big crowd
A reunion often goes outdoors, so use heavier paper that will not blow away. Tape the corners or use a clipboard for each table.
Print one card per page if the crowd includes grandparents who prefer bigger text. If you print a lot of sets, use black and white ink saver mode to keep costs low.
FAQ
How many cards do I need for a large reunion?
One per person, though couples or families can share a card. For a group of fifty or more, print two sets and mix them on the welcome table.
Can I use family names in the squares?
Yes. Replace generic items with names of relatives, like Uncle Dan's burgers or Aunt Rosa's lemon cake. This makes each card feel handmade.
Will older relatives enjoy this game?
Many do, because the squares prompt stories. Give them a helper or a seat near the activity so they can take part without walking around.
