Una combinación de la palabra censo, y la palabra lotería. Lotería es un juego de mesa mexicano muy popular, y se juega de una manera similar al bingo. Cuando una persona gana una ronda de lotería, el ganador grita “lotería” en vez de “bingo”. Por medio de la combinación de las palabras ‘censo’ y ‘lotería’ creamos la palabra ‘Censotería’, para animar a la gente a completar su censo 2020.
What is Censotería?
The word ‘censo’ in Spanish means ‘census’ and the word ‘loteria’ in Spanish means ‘lottery’. There’s a very popular Mexican board game called ‘loteria’ and it’s similar to how the game bingo is played. When a person wins a loteria game, the winners shouts “loteria” (instead of ‘bingo’ as it would be in English). Through a combination of the words ‘censo’ and ‘loteria’ we get the word ‘Censotería’, and also created a new twist for the beloved board game ‘loteria’, to encourage people to complete their 2020 Census.

How can I play Censotería?
To join the fun, just follow these steps:
Step 1: Go to www.kansashealth.org/censoteria to download your very own censoteria tabla. A ‘tabla’ is the censoteria game card that resembles a bingo card with lots of images scattered randomly on each tabla (or game card). There are over 30 tablas to choose from, so visit the Kansas Health Foundation web site to get started! (If you have access to a printer, please download your tabla(s) of choice. If you don’t have a printer, that’s ok! You can still choose your tabla from the web site and just keep track of what images that are called out.
Step 3: Wash your hands! As we continue to try and prevent the corona virus, let’s keep washing hands and keep safe distances from others. Plus, we’ll be handling small items such as uncooked pinto beans to cover the tablas.
Step 4: Gather about 15-20 uncooked pinto beans, beads or water bottle caps so you can place these items over your tabla once the game caller begins calling out the images
Step 5: Once you log onto the Censotería Facebook Live event, get ready to watch the Censotería card caller to find out if your card is chosen! Each player will have time to find the image on their tabla, so that you can place an uncooked pinto bean on your tabla!
Step 6: When the Censotería card caller chooses the cards, place an uncooked pinto bean, bead or whatever you can to fill the card if and when the images on your card (tabla) are called. Once your entire tabla is filled, then you are the game winner! Make sure you quickly type into the Facebook Live comment section the following words: “Yo cuento!” or “I count!” . A person is the game winner if they are the first player to fill their entire card!
Step 7: During the Censotería game, while you continue to be on Facebook Live for the event, feel free to type out questions or comments that you’d like to ask about #2020Census! We are here to help answer questions. Most importantly, we ask each person who plays Censotería, if they have completed their #2020Censo already! You count, I count, we all count!
Step 8: Get ready to have some fun, learn about the importance of #2020Census and perhaps win a prize!
