Each participant receives a bingo card with different physical actions (e.g., «raise your arms,» «march in place,» «touch your shoulders»).

Actions are called out, and participants must perform them before marking their card.

The first to complete a line or full card wins a small prize.

This workshop turns physical activity into an engaging game of bingo, encouraging seniors to move while having fun. Participants perform various movements as they complete their bingo cards, promoting mobility, coordination, and social interaction.

GOALS:

• Encourage physical activity through a fun and interactive format.
• Improve coordination and mobility.
• Foster social engagement and enjoyment.

INDICATORS:

• Are they actively participating? Yes/No
• Are they enjoying the activity? 0-4 scale

MATERIALS:

• Bingo cards with different physical actions (e.g., «raise your arms,» «march in place,» «touch your shoulders»).
• Markers or chips to cover completed movements.
• Small prizes for winners.

TIMETABLE:

• 10 mins – Introduction: Explain the rules of Movement Bingo and demonstrate some of the actions on the cards.
• 40 mins – Game Time: Call out movements one by one; participants perform them before marking their cards. The game continues until a participant gets a bingo.
• 10 mins – Reflection & Cool Down: Stretching exercises and a discussion about how the activity made them feel.

Adaptations for Disabilities:

• Visual Impairments: Use large-print or tactile bingo cards; call out movements clearly and provide verbal descriptions.
• Hearing Impairments: Use written or visual instructions and demonstrate movements before calling them out.
• Mobility Impairments: Adapt movements for seated participants (e.g., raising arms instead of marching in place).
• Cognitive Impairments: Offer simpler movements and provide one-on-one guidance if needed
