What do you get when you combine Bingo, exercise, home safety trivia, and prizes? A room full of laughter, learning, and movement.
I just wrapped my first Bingocize co-teaching experience at the Ventura County Area Agency on Aging and it was a blast!
Bingocize isn’t your average Bingo night. It’s a creative and engaging program designed to help older adults stay physically active, socially connected, and better informed about home safety.
Our human participants enjoyed visits from their canine friend 😀🐕🦺!
The prizes? Functional and fun!
From motion sensor lights to grabber tools, each item sparked conversations about maintaining independence at home.
Pro tip: 😂Using a grabber tool to retrieve dropped Bingo balls is surprisingly entertaining!
Bingocize: More than a Game:
Research shows that regular physical activity improves strength, balance, and overall well-being for older adults, reducing the risk of falls. Combine that with social interaction and education, and you've got a winning formula for healthier aging.
Encourage Your Loved Ones to Get Involved:
build confidence
connect with peers
learn ways to make life safer & more enjoyable.
