Physical Distancing Bingo!
Launch date: Friday, June 26, 2020
We know that this year, summer will look very different from the summers of our past, but that doesn’t mean it can’t still be a great one! To help put some fun into the summer months, and to encourage everyone to find new ways to enjoy themselves, we’ve put together a little bingo game for you!
Here’s what we’re asking you to do:
- Download or print out the Physical Distancing Activities for Families and Adults booklet we created, which has information about all of the activities we’ll be challenging you to do over the summer (and talks about how these activities can benefit your health and well-being!).
- Download or print out the Physical Distancing Bingo card that goes with it so you can join in the fun!
- Watch our social media pages each week to find our weekly bingo challenge and share your summer adventures with us by tagging us in your posts.
- At the end of the summer, send a copy of your completed bingo card (scanned or electronic version) to Michelle: ml@townshippers.org. For each challenge you complete, you’ll receive one entry in our drawing for some fun Townshippers swag!
- And most of all, have fun!! 😊
