Then they had to pick three more to open. First they picked their suitcase, which we set aside on a music stand. We then had an excel spreadsheet with all these dollar amounts listed, which we displayed on a screen using a projector. So the odds of them picking the 50 dollar is the same as them picking the penny. So the odds of picking any suitcase is one out of ten. 50, $1, $2, $5, $10, $25, $50.Īssuming you know how the game works, you must pick your suitcase first. First we thought candy bars etc, but we figured nothing works better than money. We made up ten whole sets of these file folders, so each time the girls would grab one of the next set.Īs for dollar amounts, we struggled some with that, but I think what we ended up with went over fantastic. When it was time to open the folder, they released two paper clips holding it shut, and let the top of the file folder fall down revealing the money. They did not know what money amount was inside their folder. We used ten middle school girls, they would parade out on stage holding their file folder with the numbers on it. Then inside we had large numbers with the dollar amount. On the front we had a clipart of a suitcase, with the numbers 1 - 10 inside the clipart. The suitcase were the plain only file folders you use in your filing drawers. Then we cleared the stage and played Skyview's version of 'Deal or No Deal.' It was our school's 10 year birthday, so we only used ten suitcases. That seemed to be the right amount, so we gave out $5 gift certificates as prizes, so $100 on Bingo. (I do not want any parent saying they sold all the wrapping paper just to pay for Bingo prizes.) We played about 20 games of Bingo from 6:30 - 8:00. We charged parents and kids 2$ admission, just so the event paid for itself. (To find out what we did for Fear Factor Bingo do a search on Fear Factor Bingo, or the specifics are under 'Top Message Board Requests.) After doing two years of Fear Factor Bingo, I decided this year to try 'Deal or No Deal' Bingo.
