Music Bingo OhiO
Contact Name Kenny Gilder
Since 2014, through the process of playing the classic game of Bingo, we have taken participants on a trip down their own personal musical memory lane utilizing Song Titles in place of numbers on a "Bingo Card".
We cannot share just how many Activity Professionals tell us that we are without a doubt their residents’ "favorite" activity.
It's Music Therapy at its finest: Incorporating Cognitive Memory Recall by having players tell US what the name of the song is that is being played, who sang the song and associated tidbits of trivia such as a movie associated with a particular song, a singer’s nickname or perhaps that singer's "REAL" name.
This brings interactive activity into play. PLUS a few bad jokes and assorted stories about songs, song writers and the like.
Cost of Services $85.00-$100.00
