This Christmas play bingo with your family no matter who they voted for. See how many of these you can agree on. Print out a copy for everyone. The people with the most matches win! What categories did you agree on that I don’t have listed? Let me know in the comments.
The Rules:
You can only speak for yourself. No comments on others. Meaning, discuss your ideas, why you believe what you do, otherwise, listen carefully to what others believe.
If discussion becomes heated, all agree to stop and move on to a new topic.
