This online session explores how to meet new people at a bingo event, whether you enjoy games at local Burnaby halls or participate online. Many people love the game but find it challenging to connect with others in a fast-paced environment. It's easy to feel stuck, focusing only on your cards. This talk is designed to provide Burnaby residents with simple, low-pressure strategies to make any bingo outing more social and enjoyable.

We will explore the importance of small actions that make a big difference.

It’s about positioning yourself to be approachable, whether you're choosing a communal table in person or being active in a pre-game chat online.

You will learn about conversation starters that are natural and relevant to the setting. Instead of generic questions, we focus on simple observations about the game, the daubers, or the shared excitement of a near-win. For players in Burnaby, this could even be a comment about a local jackpot or a favorite community hall. The goal is to understand how to use the shared activity as a bridge for connection and successfully meet new people at a bingo event.
