How To play Self-Care BINGO

There are a few ways you can play self-care BINGO.

1. Play with a friend (or a group of friends)

Make sure to all use the same self-care BINGO printable template.

• Give yourself a determined period of time to play the game – a day, a weekend, or a week.
• With every self-care idea you complete, simply shade in the box, or even more fun, use a BINGO dabber
• The first person in the group to complete 5 self-care activities in a row wins!
  • What do you win?! Well, that’s up to you. Purely just committing to 5 self-care ideas that make you happy and give you inner peace is already a win 🙂 But of course, you can always plan a prize amongst your friends.

2. Play on your own

You have a couple of options here…

• Play the same as above, completing 5 self-care exercises
• Or go all in and complete them all
• Once you complete the self-care bingo game that includes the self-care ideas, you can then take the blank printable worksheet and write your own.

Let’s get into the 25 self-care ideas on the printable self-care bingo card…

1. Go for a long walk

If you don’t walk much, just getting out there for any length of time is great. If you do walk regularly and truly enjoy walking, then treat yourself to a longer carefree walk.

This might mean not bringing your dog who stops and marks their territory every 5 feet, and instead, it’s just you walking – enjoying what’s around you.

2. Have coffee with a friend

Whether it’s out at a cafe or getting together at your house or theirs, the point is to have a good catch-up.

And for you tea lovers or hot chocolate lovers, or heck, wine lovers – you do you 🙂

5. Read a good book

Even better, find a time that is completely quiet so you can really get into your book.

Here are some ideas…

• Take lunch outside and find a quiet spot to read – even if it’s just for 15 minutes
• Have a bath and bring your book along
• Listen to an audiobook while in the car – or listen while on a walk
• Read a chapter first thing in the morning before anyone wakes up

7. Workout for 30 minutes

Working on your physical health is an important way to practice self-care, so do this today and try and keep at it.

Choose anything you like to do – ride a bike, go for a jog, lift weights, try some HIIT training, do yoga.

10. Call a friend for a chat

Or a family member – someone who feels good to connect with.

11. Stay off of social media

That’s right – aim to have a social media detox for a full day. You’ll be amazed how much better you feel about your time so you can be intentional with it.

12. Play a board game

A big part of self-care is ‘social self-care’. Doing something enjoyable with good friends or family is a great way to look after yourself.

14. Read some inspiring quotes

This can be:

23. Do something creative

Write, draw, do calligraphy, photography, color, read, paint, scrapbooking, crochet, woodworking, bullet journal, play music…

There are so many things out there you can try or get back to. 

24. Stretch before bed

If you don’t already do this – start! It feels so good and is an excellent way to wind down.

Just stretch your body in places that feel stiff and if you need to look up some stretching exercises there are plenty of resources out there.
