Will you be adding these modern calls to your Bingo game?
Bingo is a game that has well and truly daubed its way through history.
Consisting of either 75 or 90 balls, a Bingo caller, some Bingo cards and a dauber, Bingo can now be played both in person at your favourite Bingo hall and online via the online Bingo games section.
With Bingo adapting to the ever-changing technological world we find ourselves living in, we wanted to take a look at some other parts of the traditional game that are starting to change slightly to fit with the modern world – Bingo calls.
That’s right, some Bingo halls and online Bingo games are starting to introduce modern Bingo calls to their games, to help engage with new players as well as bring the ‘new’ in.
With this in mind, we’ve gathered just a small selection of Bingo calls that are being phased into some games, to help modernise the traditional game.
Follow us as we explore Bingo calls being added to games from both the modern world and the technological. Be sure to say them out loud! And you can try them out at your next game of bingo with the kids at home. Or, why not take a bingo box camping with you this summer!
Modern Calls
6 – Little Mix
8 – Tinder date. Rather than swiping, will this call have you daubing?
17 – Selfie queen. Who doesn’t love a selfie these days?

24 – Lads on tour
25 – Adele. Named after her third album, 25.
27 – Hipster heaven
