The kids may have put you through your paces during the day, but when they’re tucked up in bed, you can log in to a site like Costa or Wink bingo and have the fun of playing bingo for as short or long a time as you want. As the games only cost pennies to play, there’s real value in a game of bingo. Even if you don’t win, you’ll have the fun of playing and you also get to chat with other players.
Whether you invite people you know to join the same bingo sites and play with you, or if you just go into the bingo chat rooms and talk to whichever players are already there, you’re always guaranteed some company in an online bingo game. The game’s transition to online has actually even increased its social side, as if you were playing in a bingo hall you’d have to keep quiet during the games.
Another way you can have fun online in the evenings in the run up to Christmas is to make some of your own decorations. Having young children in the house can often re-awaken people’s creative sides.
