People Watching Scavenger Hunt Bingo

Grind types and pour them on a bingo card

As one of those types who enjoys the sports of people watching and street photography, I've found a means to combine the two experiences and elevate them to the status of a bingo game.

Okay, maybe elevate is not the correct word. Anyway, it works like this.

Preprinted cards are distributed to the players. The squares have descriptions such as " Obese child under ten years of age" and "elderly man with silver hair to his shoulders".

The players take to the streets with digital cameras and look for matches. A busy park on a weekend would ensure plenty of opportunities to find a match.

The first person to get five in a row wins the prize.

Damn, I found some prior art - http://annieinmn.fi...08/08/fairbingo.pdf
But they don't include photographing the people, just seeing them at the state fair. Ten different cards. [normzone, Aug 24 2009]
