GET A BINGO CARD TO PLAY:

---

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Students will need to click the button above OR go to bit.ly/2324txdecabingo to get their bingo card. They can continue putting the URL in as many times as they would like to get a new card.

• When you click on a square, it will put a yellow ‘X’ so you know that it has already been called.

• Teachers (or game leaders) will need to choose one of the call card presentations from below to use. Each one has been randomized so the call cards are in a different order. There are 48 potential items to be called. If someone gets a bingo before you get halfway through the call presentation, you may want to make note of the slide that ended the first round and continue with the same presentation for round 2.

• Suggested BINGO verification: have students send a screenshot of their card to you so you can verify that all of their BINGO items were called during that round.

Three Ways to Get your DECA Chapter in the Holiday Spirit

What better way is there to spend the holiday season than with your DECA chapter? December opens up a multitude of opportunities for your chapter to either grow together as a group, outreach to the community, or host fundraisers to earn money for upcoming competitions! Here are a few ideas from the Magnolia West DECA chapter for your DECA chapter to do as well!

DECA Team Bonding

Competitions are coming up, so use the time between now and competition to build up your DECA chapter! One of the traditions we have at Magnolia West is having a big movie night at someone’s house, where we eat food, watch tons of movies, and just get to know each other better! This is an even better event to do during December because it is chilly outside, and you can enjoy blankets, hot chocolate, and movies with your other chapter members!

Community Outreach

The holiday season opens up a multitude of different opportunities to help out the community around you, and doing this with your DECA chapter is also a great way to build friendships! Start a food drive, a toy drive, a clothing drive, adopt a family to buy Christmas gifts for, package food for families, package and hand out snowman soup to holiday workers, the possibilities are endless!

Fundraisers

Competitions are coming up quickly and you need to make sure your chapter has enough funds to send everyone to competition!  In the past, we’ve hosted movie nights.

The holiday seasons are awesome, make sure you utilize all the opportunities you have to grow as a chapter!

Chapter Social Ideas

School has started for most of us, which also means that a new DECA season is beginning, as well! One of the most effective ways to increase membership is by hosting socials. Events like these encourage new members to get involved and meet others in your chapter. Teamwork events can also help your chapter grow together as a whole. Below are five social ideas to help your DECA chapter kick off this season:

1) Kickball Social - Everyone’s favorite elementary school game has made a comeback! Find a local park or field and gather your DECA chapter for a day of fun. Ask members to bring refreshments such as cookies and lemonade. Form teams and face off within your own chapter or even ask a nearby school’s DECA chapter to join in.

2) Reverse Scavenger Hunt - This twist to a common game is sure to be a hit! Prior to the event, create a list of 20-25 common things that everyone has or can easily access. These can be items like coins, scissors, sticky notes, etc. Split your DECA chapter into random groups based on something like color or birthday month. Give the teams 30 minutes to locate each item on the list. To help increase the incentive to win, provide a prize for the winning team. `

3) Ice Cream Social - Everyone loves ice-cream! Those who don’t are lying. There is a reason this method is used often: it works. Purchase ice cream sandwiches or cones from your local grocery store. This can be done after a DECA meeting or on a separate day. You can also try hosting the social at a local park so your chapter can take advantage of the additional recreational facilities available there.

4) Color Wars - Who doesn’t love to get messy? You can easily purchase pigmented powder at a low cost from trustworthy online distributors. Pick a date and invite your DECA chapter out for a day of colorful fun.

5) Build Your Own Taco - Fact: Tacos taste good. You can easily buy basic taco ingredients from your local grocery store. The possibilities are endless! While chapter members are making their tacos, you can have a movie or music playing in the background. I’m getting hungry just thinking about the amazing tacos your chapter will make.
