Find Someone Who... Bingo

Directions

1. Before the session prepare a bingo card filled with a grid of squares and questions or answers.
2. On the day of class, pass out the cards face down and tell participants they will have a certain amount of time to achieve a "Bingo."
   1. five boxes in a row – going across, down, or diagonally
   2. an X diagonally through the middle
   3. a picture frame – all of the outside boxes filled in
   4. blackout – with every box completed
3. The rules:
   1. You must talk to others and cannot pass the papers around the room.
   2. You must write the answer to the criteria in the box. (Ex: Bobbi Bronco has lived in Germany.)
   3. Each person can only write their name on each card once – depending upon the number of participants vs. squares.
4. Once time has passed or someone has achieved a bingo, have participants share out what they learned.

Note: Depending on time, you may want to go through each square to see who might have responses to the questions. If learning about cultures or concepts is the goal of the activity you will want to go through each square to discuss accurate responses.
