Last week while I was walking our dog Sunny, I spotted a cute family taking a walk around the neighborhood doing a scavenger hunt. Their kids were so excited to find leaves, rocks, and flowers to check off their list. Even from the comfort of my front window, I’ve taken notice of things I never normally do. The mail delivery, joggers, repair trucks… I find myself peeking out every so often just to take an inventory of what is going on in my neighborhood. And it gave me an idea.
Why not put our snooping to good use with a window bingo you can play throughout the day? Whether you tape this window bingo to your front window and play against a sibling, or you print a few out to take on a walk around your own neighborhood, it’s a good distraction. Something we all could use right now.
Get Ready to Play
There are four bingo cards included in our PDF download. That way you can keep things interesting if you are playing alone, or you can go head-to-head with those at your house. It’s a fun game for all ages. You can even do a card per day as a family and let everyone take turns checking the window to check off things they find.
If you want to make your own bingo cards, here are the items you fill in!
