Family Reunion Name Bingo Game Colourful Fall Tree

Send an invitation to a Family Reunion which is also a game card for a Family Name game. Personalise with your own family names. To play the game call out the names of grandparents and great-grandparents or other family members or as a variation hold up photos and have the players mark the name of the person in the photo. Mix up the names on each card to make a fun game that helps everyone learn about their ancestors. Suggested names are indicated for each square, but you can put in any name when you personalise and create a variety of cards for the game. A colourful fall tree photo is featured on both sides of the card as a background. The background photo can be changed to one of your own like a tree from a family's yard if desired. If you don't have time to personalise each card before ordering and you order a number of cards that are all the same, you could use the bingo sheets even though they are all the same by having each player randomly number each square. Then the caller will call out a letter and a number as is commonly done in bingo games. Another way to play would be to assign 5 different squares to each player to cover before they have "bingo". Younger players could be assigned the rows with the free square. When you run out of rows you can assign L shapes or other groupings of 5 squares. You could also assign a letter or a number to each player like the first letter of their first name or their age. They mark the photos or names off as they are called and the first one to complete their letter or number shape wins. You could mark each sheet with a narrow strip of tape or with a pen or marker to indicate which squares need to be covered to win. Each player then has a different goal. Another variation is to have each player randomly number each square. Then the caller will call out a letter and a number as is commonly done in bingo games. I hope you have fun playing the game.
