In my experience most kids love bingo games. Grandma Mouse will be offering personalized bingo games for children’s birthday parties. Each game will feature the child’s picture, name, age, and favorite color.
The regular birthday bingo game has 9 squares per card, and the object is to mark 3 squares in a row. It would probably work for ages 6 and up. The simplified birthday bingo game has 4 squares per card, and the object is to mark all 4 squares. It would be good for ages 4 through 6.
I have sample games ready featuring Miranda and Mason Mouse, but I would prefer to use sample games with photographs of real children. Therefore, I will give away one regular birthday bingo game and one simplified birthday bingo game. To receive a game you must agree to allow me to use your child’s picture and name in a sample game on my website.
To enter the “contest”, send an e-mail to shirley@grandmamouse.net stating how you will use the game and including the statement, “If I win a free game, you have my permission to use my child’s picture and name in a sample game on grandmamouse.net.”
If more than one person requests the same game, I will choose one of them to receive the free birthday bingo. The game will be e-mailed to the winner in .pdf (Adobe Reader) format, ready to print out. (Adobe Reader is a free download if you don’t already have it.)
Here are the samples with Miranda and Mason Mouse:

Grandma Mouse now offers Baby Shower Bingo. The squares contain photos of the parents-to-be, the due date, and various pink or blue items. Unlike many personalized bingo games where only the title or color is personalized or you have to write in your own information, this game uses your pictures and information throughout the cards.
