Pumpkin Spice and Everything Nice!

Fall is upon us once again – the air becomes cool and crisp, while leaves gracefully float to the ground from the tree tops. It’s time to swap out our flip flops for boots, return to school, watch football games, dress up in costume to “trick or treat,” and snuggle up in a cozy sweater with a frothy Pumpkin Spiced Latte! The arrival of cooler weather allows us to appreciate the warmth of family, friends, and community – an ideal time to reconnect over an entertaining game of BINGO!


Add some SPICE to your bingo events with these whimsical seasonal bingo patterns:



 
Back to School!

Summer’s over; routines have returned – let’s celebrate the ‘return to school!’ Think of the disciplines of packing lunches, buying school supplies, attending school sports events – and tap into a local business to see if they can donate a basket of school supplies for a game winner. Also consider making your own prize basket/gift bag by sourcing items from your local dollar store! Whatever you do, have fun!

Celebrate 'back to school' with some of the following bingo patterns: 

 
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

While cancer awareness is an all year round focus, October is dedicated to breast cancer awareness: a time to promote screening and to fundraise for breast cancer research.

Consider holding a breast cancer awareness night and celebrate ‘everything pink’ using our Pink Ribbon bingo ink dabbers and assorted pink bingo paper. Award a free buy-in package to the attendee who, by round of applause, is the best “Pretty in Pink!” Whatever you do, have fun – and yes, celebrate our breast cancer survivors!

 
Halloween
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31

Have a WICKED good time and host a themed Halloween Bingo night where patrons can dress in costume! Encourage players to dab with orange and purple ink colors, distribute wrapped candies or treats, and award a free buy-in package to the player with the best costume!

Veterans' Day (USA)
Remembrance Day (Canada)
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 11

Celebrate and honor the military veterans of our Armed Forces! Patrons can invite a veteran to a special patriotic bingo event to thank them for their service. This holiday is always observed on November 11, as it recognizes the formal agreement that marked the official end of World War I (on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, allied forces and Germany came together to sign the peace treaty). You can award a free buy-in package to the 11th veteran or player in line!

Don’t forget our patriotic bingo ink markers to complement your bingo event!

Thanksgiving
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 28 (USA)
MONDAY, OCTOBER 14 (CANADA)



There is so much to be THANKFUL for, and we can reflect on the positive people and events in each of our lives during this holiday! 
Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation by a recipient of another's kindness. Taking the time to feel gratitude may improve your emotional well-being by helping you cope with stress too – one study found that gratitude was linked to fewer signs of heart disease!

Mindful awareness of the people and things you are grateful for can go a long way in supporting your mental and emotional health. To be more mindful, you may incorporate a daily practice where you identify what you are thankful for and sit with this feeling for awhile. Gratitude is a practice that can take time and dedication to build – once you do, you may feel more joyful, at ease, supported, and satisfied with your life!

To put the Thanksgiving spirit into practice: give back to your local community and consider hosting a bingo night where players bring in non-perishable food items. All items can be donated to a food bank or shelter, and the players can enter to win a free buy-in package at a future bingo. Everyone wins!
