Two Little Ducks - Bingo Calls

If you say ‘Two Little Ducks’ to anyone they usually always think of the bingo call for 22. In bingo circles the call is often followed by the shout of ‘quack quack’ from the the players too. There’s no special meaning or history behind the call, it simply stems from the representation of the numbers. The number 2 resembled a small swan and from there 22 became two little ducks (as opposed to two little swans). Variations of the call also exist, for example two ducks on a pond.

22 is not the only duck related bingo call. Others include:

2. One little duck
25. Duck and Dive
27. Duck With a Crutch (usually called as Gateway to Heaven)
82. Fat lady with a duck (usually called as Straight on through)
