The many benefits of Bingola

Bingola is a social game. It is chance for us to come together as friends, school mates and/or members of a community. Bingola isn't just marking off letters. It's a chance to catch up, have a conversation or have a laugh together.

Everyone has the same chance to win Bingola. Although there is a feeling of competitive excitement and the need to concentrate, nobody knows who will win the next game.

Bingola appeals to young and old. Here are some of the benefits for playing Bingola in different locations and settings.

Bingola for Seniors

The advantages for seniors playing Bingola are noteworthy. Let's list the many good reasons why Bingola is great in community centres and for aged care:

  • You must play Bingola in a group. The bigger the group, the more fun it is to win. There's no better way to say social as a senior!
  • Play Bingola to practice your vocabulary, but people at all skill levels can still win. Everyone needs to think about the words called and the letters on the ticket. What a great way to keep sharp!
  • Bingola can be played almost anywhere. It can be played by those with limited mobility or in a wheelchair.
  • Bingola tickets have large, easy-to-read print.
  • Bingola creates conversations. The Bingola dictionary includes all sorts of positive words. For many seniors, words will trigger fond memories, like a holiday, an achievement or an adventure. You will be relieved to know, the dictionary excludes words connected with negative events or situations.
  • Bingola can be combined with established Bingo events. If some in the community find Bingo too repetitive, the Bingola could be just the ticket to get more people involved.
  • Bingola is the perfect game for grandparents to play up with their grandkids. Children will surely asking about the many positive words and impressed that grandma or grandpa knows far more than they imagined. The ideal bonding experience!

Bingola for Schools

If there's one skill important for kids, it's language, spelling and vocabulary. Here is how Bingola helps in a school setting.

  • Bingola exposes students to many new words and the spelling of these words.
  • Children who are struggling with words and spelling have a chance to win. Instead of having to adjust games for the skill levels of those children, Bingola naturally offers students renewed confidence.
  • Bingola is about absorbing words without focused study. While playing quickly is not important to win, children will naturally try to complete each turn as fast as they can. Every small improvement is also an improvement in listening and spelling skill.
  • Bingola takes children away from being solitary with computer games and back into a social setting.
  • Bingola doesn't need to be a teacher-led activity. Aside from playing, students can practice running the game from the front of the class, calling out words and building their leadership skills.

Bingola for pubs, clubs and venues

Are you busy on weekend nights, but empty at most other times? Bingola is a great way to promote your pub, club or venue. Here's why:

  • Bingola can bring out customers for times of the day when you are least busy. Some ideal times are 11am, which encourages people to stay for lunch, or 2pm for people staying after lunch. Another great time is just before happy hour.
  • Patrons don’t need to organise themselves into teams. With each game taking just 10-15 minutes, people don't even need to turn up on time.
  • Bingola is inexpensive. It costs only a few cents per player, which is easily paid back with any one purchase. It doesn't need a huge crowd to turn up, so you're always ahead.
  • Your venue is a part of the community, but often new people are reluctant to go. Isolation is an increasing social problem. Bingola is open for single attendees to play and mix with the longer term players.
  • Running the game is easy-peasy. There is no training or special staff. Almost anyone can run a Bingola game and nearly impossible for it to go wrong
  • Unlike Bingo, Bingola is not a gambling game. It's just for fun. At most, you'd be offering the winners a free drink or low-value coupons. With nothing significant at stake, there will be little chance of a dispute.
