Wanna Play the Most SUPPORTIVE Bingo? (entering 2026)

Estimated read time: 3 - 4 minutes

I think you just might want to play.

This is dorky, but for years I’ve wanted to make a game of Bingo.

And I’m about to go semi-dormant here as I enter a “tidy-up” stage after the frenzy of creative activity in the last few months: creating a website, a blog, a podcast, 12-week group facilitation (learned and made so much in the process), and more. Other life responsibilities are becoming much more demanding in the short-term, so I’m planning to enter a more subdued phase until the middle of 2026. I’m thinking a monthly podcast, some 1:1 coaching calls, and possibly some livestreamed planning sessions or building my strategy library on Vimeo.

So now feels like my chance. I made a Bingo game for the Creative Compass group to help us focus on integration of strategies. Since I went through all that effort, and it’s stuff that could work for a wide audience, I’ve decided to make that Bingo game available for the public, to play together going into the new year.

HOW IT WORKS:

Complete THREE rows, columns, and/or diagonals by JANUARY 31, 2026. Then let me know. I’ll send you one of two cute-as-heck stickers from Manic Pixie Dream Squirrel (donated by the artist):

BINGO BACKSTORY:

I wanted to wrap up the first-ever Creative Compass group with a game that’s:

• meaningful
• affordable
• educational
• easy to play
• enjoyable
• supportive for neurodiverse profiles
• doable even (especially?) during stressful times

WHY BINGO?

Those ingredients can help move us towards empowerment, self-connection, satisfaction. Simple but powerful stuff.

The idea of longer-term Bingo is to recognize when we are integrating these approaches into our lives. (We do so more often than we realize, and that’s worth noticing in ourselves and in each other. Doing so helps promote a “Growth Mindset.")

The Bingo card is full of tasks that we could all use more reminding-to-do, designed by an Executive Functioning coach and long-term educator who has given much thought to the prompts and the people who may work with them.

And who’s going to play alongside you.

It’s wholesome as heck!

IF YOU HAVE ANY Qs ABOUT THE PROMPTS, LET ME KNOW!

Here’s how to play:

1. (Optional) Check out the prompts HERE. Note: Here’s a recording of me reading the prompts aloud (for folks who would prefer that).
2. Decide “yes” or “no” - whether you want to play. A “no” is a fine choice!
3. If “yes” - pick a number between 1 and 15. There are 15 Bingo cards at this link. Print the card matching your chosen number.
4. Then, take the next couple steps that you think will improve the odds that you will complete it. Need to print it at the library? Put it somewhere special? Fold it and tuck it somewhere you often carry around with you? Make a calendar note to check on it?
5. Play Bingo over the next several weeks! Your approach is up to you. If any prompts are unclear, let me know. I can explain.
6. When you complete THREE rows, columns, or diagonals, let me know! I’ll get you address and I'll send you a sticker. (Sticker preference is welcome. I’ll see what I can do.)

P.S. This Bingo can be played by a wide variety of ages! If you’ve got young ones in your life - even as young as elementary school - this could be powerful stuff. Especially if you read the prompts together and play alongside each other.

P.P.S. I’d love to distribute these to bookstores & coffee shops soon! Let me know if you’ve got a good location or would like to help out.

P.P.P.S. Questions and feedback welcome.
