Bingocize® was created by Dr. Jason Crandall, Co-Director/Co-Founder at the WKU Center for Applied Science in Health & Aging. He created the socially engaging group-based game that combines health education and exercise in the format of BINGO. Dr. Crandall and his research team have tested the program and demonstrated that over 90% of older adults who played two times a week for 10 weeks significantly improved physical, social and mental health. 

To help Webster County participants learn and use health information focused on behavior related to exercise, the FCS Agent in Webster County taught the Nutrition Bingocize® to an average of 4 participants twice a week for 10 weeks. There were a total of 8 participants who attended at least one session over the course of the 10 week program. 

Two participants indicated that they felt their balance and stamina had improved over the 10 weeks. In addition, 100% of participants indicated they learned new information from the nutrition questions that were presented during the program. 

Quotes from participants:

"I am so happy you came. This is fun!"

"Thank you for taking the time to come here and exercise with us. When can you come back?"

"I have done several of these exercises with my therapist. They really do help."
