This is a football bingo game built for older adults, not a children's party printable. Thirty-two pictures of everything that shows up on the first Sunday in February — the quarterback and the referee, but also the foam finger, the down marker, the wings, the nachos, the coach getting the cooler dumped over his head — each printed with its name underneath, so nobody has to guess what they're looking at.

Every one of the 32 call cards has a short riddle for the facilitator to read aloud, and underneath it, a question about the player's own life:

 *REFEREE — "Black and white stripes and a whistle. Nobody is ever happy with me."*

**Talk about it:** Did you ever yell at the television? What set you off?

That second line is the whole point. A quiet room turns into a room arguing about ketchup versus mustard, naming the team they've rooted for since 1961, and telling you about the biggest crowd they were ever in. 

**WHAT YOU GET — one PDF, 32 pages, US Letter 8.5 x 11**

* 25 bingo cards, every one a different arrangement — verified, no duplicates, so no two players bingo on the same call

* 32 facilitator call cards, 6 to a page, with cut lines — picture, riddle, and memory question

* 1 facilitator guide page: what you'll need, how to play, three game variations (Four Corners, Postage Stamp, Blackout), and notes on running the game for a group with mixed hearing and vision

**PERFECT FOR**

Assisted living and memory care · senior centers and adult day programs · nursing home activity calendars · football watch parties and tailgate socials · veterans' homes · hospice and volunteer visits

**PLAY IT TWO WAYS**

Run it as a straight bingo game any afternoon in football season — or hand out the cards during the actual broadcast and let players cover squares as things happen on screen. Either way the call cards give the facilitator something to say.

**HOW IT WORKS**

1. Buy and download — the PDF is in your Etsy downloads immediately

2. Print at home or at a copy shop. Print at 100% / "actual size," not "fit to page"

3. Cut the call cards apart, hand out the boards, and use pennies, dried beans, peanuts in the shell, or bingo chips as markers
