Subject: Graduation Bingo
Dear all,
Graduation week is upon us and many of us will be boredly sitting in a graduation ceremony, researching different styles of clapping. To numb this boredom, I propose a game of graduation bingo.
The game is simple; we are all given a bingo scorecard (to be found in your pigeon holes) which contains a random 5x5 grid of possible events that could occur during the ceremony. These include an unfortunate undergraduate trips over, the speaker mispronounces a name, synchronisation between the choir and brass quartet falls to pieces etc. When such an event happens, you're allowed to tick it off on your scorecard. The first person to achieve a full length vertical, horizontal and diagonal line should "accidentally" drop their cap on stage to indicate their completion. Whether they have been successful is determined after the ceremony. The winner wins a bottle of champagne.
I hope many of you partake in this entertaining game. It should at least keep us awake and on our toes during what is to be expected a long, hot ceremony.
Regards and enjoy graduation,
Dr. Sarah Bingham
