Seasonal Bingo Calls to Try This Summer

Sun's out, bingo's on! Whether you're packing your tent for the next music festival after Glastonbury, hosting a BBQ in your garden, or just soaking up the sunshine in your local park, an entertaining game of online bingo is a brilliant way to get the party started.  

These themed bingo calls are perfect for adding a splash of sunshine to your next gathering. Here's our favourite shout-outs for the season!

What are bingo balls? (and Why Make Them Seasonal?) 

Bingo calls are the quirky, often rhyming phrases shouted out when numbers are drawn in a game of bingo. From the traditional "Two little ducks - 22!" and "Legs eleven-11", to newer, cheeky twists, they keep the game lively and get players giggling. 

 Adding themed calls (like seasonal ones) makes the experience feel fresh and even more enjoyable by creating a fun theme around your bingo game.

Top tips for hosting a summer bingo bash

Planning a summer-themed bingo night? Whether you're in the garden, at the park, or taking it seaside, a little preparation goes a long way. Here's how to turn a simple bingo game into a sun-soaked celebration everyone will remember: 

Dress the part: Think Glasto style, floral shirts, sunglasses or sunhats. Encourage your guests to join in and make it a themed event - festival vibes or beachwear always go down a treat. 

Alfresco it: Take the game outdoors if the weather allows. Set up picnic blankets, deckchairs or even a gazebo for some added shade. Natural lighting and a summer breeze will set the perfect scene. 

Set the scene: Use beach balls, bunting, fairy lights or colourful tableware to add atmosphere. You could even print off bingo cards with seasonal designs to match the theme. 

Prizes galore: Keep it fun with light-hearted summer-themed prizes like fans, sun visors, novelty sunglasses, or beach towels. Reusable water bottles and snacks also go down well. 

Music is key: Create a playlist full of summer tunes to keep the fun high between rounds. Think feel-good hits, sing-alongs, or mellow acoustic tracks to match your crowd. 

Refreshments: Offer chilled drinks like fruit punch, lemonade or iced tea. You can even set up a DIY drink station with summery garnishes like mint or citrus slices. 

Keep it flowing: Appoint a fun, lively bingo caller who can keep the energy up and get creative with the themed calls. 

Capture the moment: Encourage guests to snap photos or take a short video of the bingo fun. It's a great way to relive the laughs and maybe even start a new summer tradition!
