It is less than a couple hours until the third episode of the Finding Your Roots with Henry Louis Gates TV series on PBS.
Last July, we experimented with creating our own MCGG Genealogy TV Show Bingo cards. We created two versions at that time.
Once again we have
played with the cards even more to make them more adaptable to
whichever genealogy TV show is airing. By condensing some items like
vital record types and ethnicity, more spaces are available for items
that could apply to all subjects of the show. Give these Version 3 cards
a try. You can use one card per episode (more chance for Bingo) or one card per each subject/celebrity in an episode. It is up to you and the other players in your house/group to agree upon.
Striking a balance between the two formats of genealogy TV shows and yet adding in some quirks genealogy-aware viewers experience (Subject Gasps or Subject Cries not to mention Puts On/Takes Off Glasses) while watching is the challenge in developing a generic card to use for most genealogy TV shows. Unfortunately, we has to lose the Uses/Doesn't Use Gloves!
Remember, these are for personal use and not for commercial resale.
