NEWINGTON – A town-wide bingo event is in the works for this March.
The Newington Chamber of Commerce is hosting Family Bingo Night on Friday, March 12. This will be a virtual event on Zoom, so people can play from the comfort and safety of their own homes with no fear of catching or spreading covid-19.
Chamber President Deanna Reney is hoping out-of-towners join in the fun as well, since the evening serves as a fundraiser for the local business community and lots of prizes will be up for grabs.
“All are welcome,” Reney told the Herald. “We would love to have as many people as possible.”
Virtual bingo nights are a great way to have some fun with your nearest and dearest. They’re cheap, they’re easy, and any adults (18+) can get involved. More importantly, you don’t need to leave the house and can simulate all the joys of a bingo hall over a live connection. A virtual bingo night works just like the real thing. Virtual Family Bingo. We are a Nonprofit Business Page using part of the proceeds to help people in my country during this Covid19 Pandemic. Thank You so much for joining our group, I.
The “doors” to the live event open at 6:30 p.m., and a total of eight games will be played from 7 to 9 p.m.
The chamber is partnering with non-profit Get Your Bingo On! For the Cause, a pandemic-era startup that allows organizations to raise money for their causes while bringing people together for virtual bingo games.
“They will be calling all the numbers, playing all the music and getting everyone excited during the event,” said Reney, who is looking forward to the fact she and fellow chamber officers will be able to join in the fun as well.
The minimum purchase required to participate is an eight-game pack for $25 and people can purchase as many packs as they wish. The Ultimate Family Bundle is $100 and includes five eight-game packs, ideal for a family with children. Each game will feature a winning prize pack valued between $100-200, featuring gift certificates to Newington restaurants and businesses.
Get your name into the B&M Tree Service Wheel of Luck for $5 for each name. There will be one spin at the end of the night for a grand prize valued at $300-plus. This includes a family four pack of tickets to the New Britain Bees and a variety of gift cards.
Prizes include a free month of karate donated by CT Kenpo, massages from area spas, wine and more.
“We have a little bit of everything,” Reney said.
The chamber has suffered financially due to the cancellation of its yearly fundraisers including the Annual Dinner held in June and the Silent Auction in the fall.
“This will serve as a fundraiser and just something for us to do this winter,” Reney said.
She is thankful to the community businesses sponsoring each game, including Newington Geico, B&M Tree Service, American Eagle Federal Credit Union, Edward Jones, WhipLash, Neptune Cremation, Middlewoods of Newington and Advance Plumbing and Heating.

Play Bingo on Zoom with your friends or family members online to help pass the boredom and isolation that comes with lockdown and staying at home.
Thanks to the continuation of lockdown and its desired end not being in sight, video apps such as Zoom and Houseparty remain massively popular with people using them to stay in contact with loved ones and mates online while staying at home. While some of these apps include games, Zoom doesn’t but you can still participate in activities such as Bingo with friends by being a bit creative.
There are plenty of games you can play while on Zoom, Houseparty or other video apps such as Heads Up, Pictionary, and – the best at guaranteeing guilty laughs – Cards Against Humanity. However, for elders or those who wish to continue acting as if they’re in a retirement home, Bingo is another of these good games.
Granted, it’s not the most thrilling, but if you wish to play something with friends that isn’t massively taxing then it’s surely for you.

How to play Bingo remotely with friends on Zoom
You can play Bingo remotely with friends on Zoom by scheduling a meeting.
Once the Zoom meeting time and date is scheduled, share the unique ID with your friends to play Bingo with them during that specified period.
If you’re not the one who is hosting the session, all you need to do is join the meeting by entering the unique ID.
Provided you have the video app downloaded and have the session set up for a later date, you can then begin creating your own Bingo cards.
It’s entirely up to you how you play and how many people participate, but the Independent has shared the idea of making it a movie night in which you all watch the same film simultaneously.

Instead of numbers, your created Bingo cards would have phrases and words most likely to appear, and you all mark them as they occur until a winner is eventually dubbed.
Remember that there are plenty of other games you can play on Zoom and other video apps to stay in contact with people remotely, but Bingo is a good and relaxing get-together for when you want a calm activity as opposed to a frantic one.

You can also make the session more exciting by creating a reward for the winner and/or punishments for the loser(s). But it’s up to you to be safe, responsible, and not stupid when it comes to any hypothetical rewards and consequences.
