Similar to Person Bingo in that everyone should have a pre-made bingo card and
something to write with. Ask participants to not read what is on their bingo cards
before the activity begins. Once the game begins, everyone will get up and interact and
mingle with each other and try get participants to sign their bingo cards after
introducing themselves. The difference is that each box on the bingo card represents
some action or activity that another person must do in order to have the card signed.
There should be a good mix of silly, physical and somewhat embarrassing activities for
the group to participate in. Create your own or use the example in Appendix #3. The
idea of the activity is that each participant should try to get a “black out” or completely
fill the bingo card. Depending upon the number of people participating, you can
require that they can only have one or two items on the card initialed by the same
person. This will require each person to meet more people in the group. The facilitator
can alternatively have a prize or other goodies available for people that finish their
cards. The cards can be in any size you wish, from a 3 square by 4 square card on up to
a 6x6 card or even larger, but remember that people may get physically tired if they
have to do so many stunts!
