BINGOAT at Faith Lutheran Church
Arlington-based yoga teacher Beth A Wolfe doubles as the brains behind BINGOAT, a totally unique and outrageous event that pops up pretty regularly at Faith Lutheran Church in Arlington. It’s like a regular bingo game but there’s also baby goats running around the joint the whole time. Go ahead and get distracted — someone else can watch your card while you’re petting a baby goat! $40. January 21 at 5 p.m. 3313 Arlington Blvd. Arlington, VA; bethawolfe.com // @bethawolfe

Music Bingo at Dacha Beer Garden
Do you know every tune . . . ever? Prove your knowledge at Dacha Beer Garden’s Sunday night music bingo.
