Need crop party games - especially BINGO

Hey!

I'm going to a crop party on Saturday and told the hostess (my best friend) that I would find some neat games for her. I'm not quite sure how BINGO works (for a crop, not the regular kind), could someone explain it to me? Mind you, it will be a crop, so it has to be in a few hours time frame. And of course, any other games that would be fun for the other guests. Thanks so much for any help!

I'm new to scrapping and won't even attend my first cropping party til October - can't wait! Anyway, the idea of a photo scavenger hunt comes to mind. Some items the group could look for could be a candy cane, a sand pail, a lawn chair... the list is endless.

Best of luck - sounds like fun!

Here's some ideas -
Put a note or sticker under a chair or a few chairs. Randomly during the day you could have the ladies check and whoever is in that seat gets a prize

Hot Potatao type thing - have a hot potato object and give it to one person to start wtih. When someone finished a LO they call out "hot potato" and they get to take the object and keep it for a while. It keeps getting passed around as everyone finishes LO's. You can set a timer or play a CD or something. Whoever is holding the hot potato when the CD ends or the timer buzzes is the winner.

Make up a BINGO sheet that everyone gets the same copy of. (trust me)

In each space, write something they may do during the crop.

Examples:
Use a picture of yourself
Complete a 2 page spread
Use an eyelet
Create a tag
Make a title using die cut letters
Use stickers in your journaling to replace words
Make a mini book to put on a LO
Add an interactive component to your page
Use the letter Q on your page (my favorite letter since it's my last initial and difficult to use)
Create serendipity squares with your scraps
Show someone else a technique
Learn a new technique
Try a new tool
cut out a shape using a template
Drink a glass of water (or whatever... I have friends that get so caught up in sbing that they forget to have anything to eat or drink while they're trying to win the game!)

As a consultant, I put "sign up to host a class/party" in the center and "purchase an item" in at least 2 of the corners. I somewhere on the page put "ask me about my business."

Then, change the method of winning every time someone wins (but don't tell them in advance what it will change to).

1st winner = 5 in a row across
then tell them (after they've been busy trying to get 5 in a row across)
the 2nd winner has to have 5 in a row up and down
then 3rd winner has to get 4 in a "postage stamp" (4 spaces that make a square)
then 4th winner has to get 4 corners
the 5th winner has to get black out

You can have as many winners at each level as you want, too.

I am having a crop in a few weeks. I am doing Bingo as it is done on Scrapbook.com. 100 words - choose 25. Pick five words every 20 minutes. First one to get all words called WINS!

at the crops i've been to....we play "blue bird", it's a beanie baby that's a blue bird, whenever someone is done with a layout, they yell out "blue bird", the hostess has a timer set & whomever has the "blue bird" gets a prize....it's fun & gets competive, all in good fun, of course...you could use any type of small stuffed animal to be passed around

Here's a game I played. It's like a scavenger hunt.

First you make up a list of items: eyelets, Brads, blue paper, circles, ovals, etc.

The first person that has a page or pages using all of these items is the winner. The list needs to be at least 25 - 30 items.

PM me if you need more detail.
