LR Bingo combines mirth and promotion

The Little Rock Convention and Visitors Bureau has ideas for staying busy at home and a few time-passing activities suitable for children. These resources are under links on the covid-19 information page of the city website, littlerock.com.

Little Rock Bingo is a fullcolor bingo card. The grid mingles humor with promotion of businesses and nonprofits. For example, under letter B the Bingo squares are:

Still couldn’t find disinfectant wipes at Kroger

Watched 10 or more movies

Finished 2 new TV shows Missed your co-workers Bought beans from a local coffee shop.

Other letters mention Abbi’s Teas and Things, Rock Town Distillery, Museum of Discovery, Audubon Center, Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, Ballet Arkansas, Historic Arkansas Museum, Robinson Center’s Broadway Theater series, Stone’s Throw Brewery and the Vogel Schwartz Sculpture Garden.

Eight line drawings can be downloaded for coloring; they depict Little Rock Central High School, Pinnacle Mountain and other sites.

Sixteen online jigsaw puzzles feature city scenery. The application, Jigsaw Explorer Puzzle Player, allows a viewer to select how many pieces to play with. The app times how long the user takes to complete the puzzle.
