So the game can either finish when someone collects a name for the entire grid.Īlternatively, the game can continue and bingo can be played after everyone has completed their grids.
Each player can only use another person once on their sheet. Hand these people bingo sheets out to each person and give them a pen, and then send them off to mingle and find people that fit in the gaps. 'has long hair' or 'has more than 5 siblings' or 'has travelled overseas' etc The game continues until 3 people have shouted bingo. The first person to fill in a row vertically, horizontally or diagonally shouts Bingo and is the winner. Everyone gets a bingo card with 25 squares of questions to fill in. You'll need to create a name bingo sheet, so basically a 4 x 4 or 5 x 5 grid of personal statements. Get to know you Bingo is a super icebreaker game for parties, meetings or get-togethers with at least 20 people.
It works for groups of all ages, and can be a really interesting game if played properly. It's also known as 'People Bingo' and 'Get To Know You Bingo'. This is probably one of the oldest and most well known icebreakers.
