This online session explores how to make social connections during bingo, a popular pastime for many in the Mount Pleasant community. Many people enjoy the game but find it challenging to connect with others in a fast-paced environment where focus is key. You can feel stuck, concentrating only on your cards and dauber, missing out on the social aspect. This talk is designed to provide you with simple, low-pressure strategies to make your next bingo outing in Mount Pleasant more social and enjoyable, turning it from a solo game into a community experience.

We will explore the importance of small actions that make a big difference. You will get insights on how arriving a few minutes early to a local game can create valuable opportunities for conversation before the calling starts. We will also discuss the simple strategy of where to sit. Choosing a seat at a more communal table, rather than an isolated spot in a Mount Pleasant hall, can significantly increase your chances of interaction. It’s about positioning yourself to be approachable and open from the very beginning of the event.

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 unique daubers people use, or the shared excitement of a near-win. These contextual openers feel less forced and can easily lead to a friendly chat, whether you're at a weekly game in town or a special fundraiser. The goal is to understand how to use the shared activity as a bridge for connection with fellow Mount Pleasant residents.

In this talk, designed with our Mount Pleasant audience in mind, 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 body language that signals you are open to conversation.
