Anyone for Bingo? You bet!
My ex mother-in-law played bingo all the time, and loved it. When she couldn’t go out to play anymore, she played via the TV. Still loved it.
I play it too – with my Mom at the care facility in which she lives.
It’s a great pastime and something virtually anyone from eight to 88+ can master.
