Here’s a full-color twist on classic bingo — fun to play at any shower!
In this version, guests are handed colorful cards with love- and wedding-themed pictures: a sunset, a diamond ring, a bouquet, and more. One bridesmaid is the “caller,” and guests mark off corresponding items on their cards. The first person to get five in a row and yell “BRIDE BINGO ” wins!There are 3 squares on each card which allow each guest to write in the name of the bride, the groom and their wedding date. The bride will blush with joy every time she hears her name called during each game. You supply the markers (m&ms or kisses) – just be sure your guests don’t eat them while in play!!

Yadu, the dramatic and humorous narrator, tells the tale of the speedy Hare who stops to rest while racing with the Tortoise. As the Hare sleeps, the ever diligent the Tortoise lumbers by “slow and steady” and wins the race. The story is animated by a bevy of animal friends, with a French twist in the character of Mrs. Beaver who runs the bistro where haughty Hare stops for some French onion soup. You already know the ending, but it’s as fun as ever to hear it again on this musical re-telling.
Composer and conductor Stephen Simon, and producer Bonnie Ward Simon originally created and performed The Tortoise and the Hare for the Concerts for Young People series at the Kennedy Center in Washington. The release of The Tortoise and the Hare confirms their continuing commitment to provide opportunities for children and their families to expand listening horizons, hone listening skills, accumulate musical memories and encourage children and adults to listen together.
