Royalty Picture Bingo
Celebrate the King’s Birthday long weekend with these fun and engaging FREE printable bingo cards, specially designed for use in aged care settings. Featuring easy-to-recognise images inspired by British royalty, this themed activity encourages conversation, reminiscence, social connection and celebration within your lifestyle program.
Picture bingo is a fantastic activity for aged care because it is inclusive, easy to participate in and suitable for a wide range of cognitive and physical abilities. Using pictures instead of words makes the game more accessible for individuals living with dementia, low literacy or vision challenges, while still encouraging recognition, concentration and memory recall.
STEP 1
Download and print the provided templates, which includes player cards and calling cards. We recommend printing onto cardboard.
STEP 2
Cut out the calling cards along the black lines. You may wish to laminate the player cards and calling cards so these can be easily wiped down and re-used. If the residents help with this step, supervision is recommended when using scissors.
STEP 3
Give each participant a player card and shuffle the calling cards, placing them in a pile face down. Flip over one calling card at a time and announce it out loud. Have the participants mark it off on their player cards if it appears. Continue calling until someone gets BINGO!
