Bingo with Golden Living Center residents in Wayzata

May is National Senior Awareness Month and in honor of that, I decided to go out into the community and meet with our elders and have a good game of Bingo! Although I haven't played Bingo in years, it isnt too tough thank goodness to remember! I called the numbers for multiple games and learned what Cover UP was--covering the whole board of numbers.

An adorable group, each with their own quirky personality, made me miss my grandparents! One woman sat in the back with a Hawaiian lei on and called out "yes!" every time she got a number and giggled...she really cracked me up. One gentleman kept calling BINGO when we were playing "Cover Up" and told me to "pick a good number"---in the end he wanted a photo of me on his lap!! Everyone got a great laugh out of that (photo above) After an hour of games, I made them rootbeer floats and chatted with many of the residents.

I'll be back in a week or so, to visit the Memory Care Department in full gown and crown to talk about the pageant! Stay tuned!
