Make Every Generation Part of the Fun: Play Memory Lane Bingo

Are you hosting a party this year and want all your guests to join in the fun? Often, grandparents and great-grandparents sit off to the side, especially those with cognitive decline, missing out on the lively conversations happening around them. This year, bring everyone together with Memory Lane Bingo — a game that sparks laughter, storytelling, and connection across generations.

Why You’ll Love It:

  • Encourages laughter and storytelling
  • Brings up fond memories
  • Gets everyone — from kids to grandparents — talking and connecting

Here’s What You Need:

  • Printed Bingo cards
  • A list of prompts (included with your cards)
  • Crayons, markers or bingo daubers
  • Small prizes or treats (optional)

How to Play:

  1. One person acts as the caller and calls out prompts from the list, or you can print the prompts, cut them out, and draw them from a bowl.
  2. When a player has done the activity or experience called, they mark it off on their card.
  3. When someone gets five squares in a row — vertically, horizontally, or diagonally — it’s a BINGO!
  4. Optionally, hand out prizes for each BINGO, and ask the winner to share a short story about one of the squares they marked.

Memory Lane Bingo is simple, flexible, and fun for every generation. It’s a great way to spark conversation, laughter, and cherished memories that everyone at the party will remember.
