How to Meet New People at a Bingo Event - Glendive

This online session, designed for the Glendive community, explores how to meet new people at a bingo event. Many people enjoy the game but find it challenging to connect with others, whether playing online or in a fast-paced local hall. You can feel stuck, focusing only on your cards. This talk provides you with simple, low-pressure strategies to make your next bingo experience more social and enjoyable.

We will explore the importance of small actions that make a big difference. You will get insights on how joining the online event a few minutes early can create opportunities for conversation before the calling starts. We will also discuss how to be approachable in a digital space. Choosing to be an active participant in the chat, rather than just observing, can significantly increase your chances of interaction. It’s about positioning yourself to be open to connection from the very beginning.

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 virtual daubers, or the shared excitement of a near-win. These contextual openers feel less forced and can easily lead to a friendly chat, helping you meet new people at a bingo event. The goal is to understand how to use the shared activity as a bridge for connection within the Glendive community.

In this talk, you will discover more about:

• Simple techniques for breaking the ice before the first number is called.
• Using the breaks between games effectively for brief, friendly chats.
• Understanding approachable digital etiquette that signals you are open to conversation.
• How to turn a simple game of bingo into a chance to make new acquaintances.

By the end of this session, you will have a clear understanding of several practical methods for socializing. While this talk is tailored for our Glendive audience, the event is accessible online to anyone, anywhere, and the tips are universal for building confidence through simple, actionable steps.
