How to play Bank Bingo

In-line entertainment

This version of Bank Bingo is perfect for those moments spent in the serpentine queues of a bank. Here's how to add fun to your next bank visit:

• Prepare the cards: Create bingo cards that feature familiar banking scenarios. Think of the classics: the perplexed person at the ATM, the desperate search for a working pen, or the inevitable queue jumper.
• More scenarios to spot: Add some more amusing observations to your cards, such as someone counting their cash multiple times, a confused customer at the information desk, or someone trying to fill out a form while balancing a coffee cup.
• Observation time: The real game begins as you wait in line. Keep your eyes peeled for these moments, turning a mundane task into a fun scavenger hunt.
• Engage with fellow customers: Get others in line involved. It's a great way to pass the time and make new friends.
• Bingo winner: The first person to spot a complete row of scenarios and call out "Bingo!" wins. Maybe even have a small, fun prize like a candy bar or a humorous bank-themed trinket.

Digital banking diversion

For those who prefer their banking digital, here's how you can play Bank Bingo online:

• Online twist: As you navigate through your online banking tasks, keep your bingo card handy. Mark off items like a captcha that takes multiple attempts, a notification for a transaction you made days ago, or the moment you finally find the section you were looking for.
• Collaborative play: Turn it into a shared activity with friends or family who are also doing their online banking. Share your progress through screenshots or live updates.
• Virtual victory: Celebrate the first person to complete a line with a digital shout-out, maybe even a custom emoji trophy.

Financial literacy class

Bank Bingo can also be a valuable educational tool:

• Educational spin: Incorporate it into a financial literacy curriculum. It's a playful way to introduce banking concepts to students.
• Interactive learning: As you cover different banking functions in class, students mark off relevant items on their bingo cards, such as "Learned what APR means" or "Set up a budget tracker."
• Reward for learning: Offer educational incentives for bingo winners, like extra credit points or a chance to lead a class discussion on a financial topic.

Office break activity

Transform your office breaks with Bank Bingo:

• Workplace fun: Spice up coffee breaks with Bank Bingo. Include scenarios like overhearing a colleague's investment chat, someone's enthusiastic talk about their new credit card rewards, or the classic misplaced office calculator.
• Team building: It's a fun, engaging way to break the ice and foster camaraderie among colleagues.

Family finance night

Make financial education fun for the whole family:

• Teach and play: Use Bank Bingo to introduce your kids to the world of banking in an enjoyable way.
• Family challenges: Include tasks like 'Calculate the family grocery budget' or 'Plan a savings strategy for a family outing' on the bingo cards.

Different ways to spice up Bank Bingo

• Themed cards: Customize cards for different banking scenarios, like mortgage meetings or investment planning.
• Bingo challenges: Add fun challenges for players who complete a bingo, like creating a budget or researching a financial term.
• Seasonal play: Tailor the game to different financial seasons, like tax time or holiday shopping.

Top tip: Make it a learning tool

Encourage discussions about financial literacy with each bingo item. For example, if someone marks off 'setting up a savings account', take a moment to talk about the benefits of saving.
