Do you keep falling asleep during the State of the Union address? What about those long and boring “rebuttals”? Here is a way to change all of that!
How to play: During tonight’s State of the Union address, check off each block when you hear these words during a meeting, seminar, or phone call. When you have checked off a whole line horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout BINGO! Then call the White House switchboard at 202-456-1414 and tell the President not to touch Social Security!
