How to play family bingo?
All you will need is nine photos containing pictures of your family members and nine small objects that can serve as markers, such as buttons. Start by assembling the photos in a 3×3 square. Instead of calling out numbers, you call out names such as “mum” or “grandpa” and if the child has a photo of the family members you call, he or she places a marker on top until a line is created. You can play this game with any amount of children by just increasing the amount of photos you use by increments of nine. Playing with multiple players is fun because not everybody will have the same photos. This game is also fun for an older sibling to play with his or her younger siblings.
