Cool Off This Summer with Ice Cream Bingo!

Stay Cool with Sweet Treats🍦

We’re deep into summer—and if your kids are anything like mine, you’re always on the hunt for something fun to do that doesn’t leave everyone totally overheated. Enter: Ice Cream Bingo! 🍦

We put together a brand new activity featuring some of our favorite local ice cream spots in Arvada, Wheat Ridge, and Golden. It’s a fun, simple way to turn a sweet treat into a little adventure... perfect for filling up those long summer afternoons. Stretch it out and play a few days a week. It'll keep everyone out & about, exploring new places for the rest of the summer!


Here’s how to play:

  • Save the image or download and print the PDF of the Ice Cream Bingo card below
  • Visit local scoop shops and mark them off as you go (try to get a row… or go for blackout!)
  • Challenge your neighbors or friends to see who can finish first
  • Snap photos, rate your favorites, and share the summer fun!

You don’t need a special occasion to dive into a scoop (or two), but if you’re looking for one National Ice Cream Day is Sunday, July 20!

This is all about making memories, exploring our community, and keeping things cool—literally and figuratively. I hope your family loves this as much as mine does.

Stay cool out there and don’t forget to treat yourself!
