Virtual Online Bingo With Friends
- Bingo: We just heard that Matthew McConaughey has been hosting online bingo for nursing homes around the country, so we know that this idea is “alright, alright, alright.” Download free Bingo Cards, head to a virtual bingo platform, and see which one of your friends can get bingo first and you “compete” over video chat.
- Bingo is a great social game which requires focus and a little bit of luck. Look at the numbers on the bingo card and the ones which roll out of the bingo cage and are called. Blot out the numbers on your card and be the first to score full rows and a full card! More than a gambling game, bingo is an opportunity to have fun and socialize.

This is a clever way to pass the time!
2020-04-07Since the early 1900s, people have enjoyed piecing jigsaw puzzles together to pass the time. These days, as we find ourselves stuck at home with time on our hands, putting together puzzles is once again an ideal activity.
But getting new puzzles has become a challenge. Many stores have closed and online retailers are selling out of them. Not only that but, due to social distancing, you might miss having the help of a friend or family member as you put together that puzzle.
Happily, several websites make it possible for you to complete an array of puzzles with anyone you please. These virtual puzzles are almost as satisfying as the real thing, with the added bonus that they allow you to connect with loved ones who can’t drop in for a visit.
