BINGO with a Twist

BINGO Meets Jeopardy

bingo and trivia

Lelia led us in a BINGO/Trivia game.

Lelia led us in a game reminiscent of BINGO. However, in this version of the game, we had to work for our tiles. The group was divided into teams and, when it was their turn, each team was allowed to pick the tile they wanted. To claim the tile, however, the team had to correctly answer the question assigned to the tile. The question categories were as follows:  Nutrition, Exercise, Weight Loss, and Will Power.

The Green Frogs took TOPS honors.

Once a team claims a tile, no other team can claim it. Like in BINGO, the first team to claim all the tiles horizontally, vertically, or diagonally wins. No team was able to claim 5 tiles in a line, so the winner was the team with the most correctly answered questions. The Green Frog Team, Tammy, Patty, and Maxi, had the most correctly answered questions and thus won the prize. Way to go Frogs!

What a fun game and creative idea. Thanks, Lelia!

Celebrating Betty K.’s KOPS Status

Betty K. received 13 items because she lost 13 lbs.

Betty K. has reached KOPS status! We are excited to have a new KOPS.

At our March 27th meeting, she shared some things she changed in her life that led to her success:

“I started exercising Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I spend an hour weight lifting and walk on the treadmill. I started watching what I eat. I quit eating cake, pie, and candy for lent, and I also eat more protein than I used to.”

Obviously, Betty found a combination that works! Chapter members brought 13 items signifying the 13 lbs that Betty lost. You can see some of her “loot” in the pictures. Great job, Betty. We are proud of you.

Betty is checking out her treasures.

And the Winner is…It’s a Tie!
