Get set up
Gather the required materials: Bingo prompt sheets and pens. Set them out before explaining the first round.
LET’S PLAY
Here’s how it works.
- Give each player a prompt grid and pen.
- Explain that anyone may decline a question.
- Players mingle and find people who match squares.
- With permission, write a first name in each matched square.
- After a set time, invite volunteers to share one interesting connection.
A few ground rules
Keep the agreed turn order, boundaries and timing consistent for everyone. Players may pass or use an accessibility adaptation without penalty.
Mix it up
Use a smaller 3×3 grid for a quick round or seated rotating partners.
Make it a great round
Limit repeated signatures so players meet more people.
Keep everyone comfortable
Avoid prompts about income, health, religion, relationships or other private matters.
