At Work Bingo
Contributed by Cathy McCoil
I created a bingo game at my work. Instead of using numbers 1 - 75, I made my list of 75 words related to our business. On the day we play, I cut out the words from the list, drop them in an
envelope, and draw them at random.
So that I don't have to actually send an email every half hour, I set up emails with 5 words each
to automatically go out.
We have offices in Florida, California and North Carolina and all employees are invited to
participate. There is no charge to play and the first one to contact me with a black out bingo
wins. The winner receives a stuffed "On the Spot" dog and a certificate.
I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from all our offices. The first time we played, I was in
the hall and the half hour rolled around. Two employees saw what time it was and rushed back to
their desks to get the next set of words.
I suggest that if someone doesn’t want to play, to let the sender know so they are not constantly
receiving unwanted emails. Also, to avoid "clogging" up the email server, I ask everyone
to delete the email from their inbox and trash folders after they check their card.
