Practical?Tips

• Try playing fewer cards so you can track your numbers more easily.
• Sit where there is shadow-free natural or artificial light.
• Use contrasting bingo markers that cover all of the number to reduce visual clutter when scanning your cards during play.
• Play with your grandchildren or a couple of close friends to familiarize yourself with the game again.
• Ask a friend to play with you and help you scan the cards. Together you can split the winnings!
