This talk provides simple, low-pressure strategies to make any bingo outing—in person or virtual—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 session a few minutes early can create opportunities for pre-event chat.

For example, choosing a seat at a communal table, rather than an isolated spot, can significantly increase your chances of interaction. It’s about positioning yourself to be approachable from the start.

You will learn about conversation starters that feel natural in any bingo setting. Instead of generic questions, we focus on simple observations about the game or the shared excitement of a near-win. These openers feel less forced and can easily lead to a friendly chat, whether you're playing at a South Lake Tahoe community center or in an online room. The goal is to understand how to use the shared activity as a bridge for connection.

• 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.
• How to turn a simple game of bingo into a chance to make new acquaintances in the South Lake Tahoe area and beyond.
