Get To Know You Bingo

This post was on my other blog and I wanted to recreate it on this one because I'll be getting rid of my other one soon. I have played this game before and I really enjoyed it. It's not about winning but about getting to know others :)



Sometimes when getting to know others you need to have a fun icebreaker game to ease the tension. Today  I made a fun icebreaker game that I cannot wait to try out.

I present:

Get To Know You Bingo



This would be a fun game to play with a larger group of people.
The way you play the game is as follows:

Once the bingo sheets have been handed out, have everyone fill in all their spaces. The sheet up above might be a little confusing to read at first. For example in the fifth row, third column it says SAME EYE COLOR AS YOU - EYE COLOR: ______. What you want to do is list YOUR eye color. I would put hazel ;). When everyone has filled out their bingo sheets, they get passed around the group. It would help if the group was in a circle or rows so it can get passed to everyone :)

*Lets say there is ten people in the group you should have at least 10 spaces marked out on your bingo sheet by the end of the game (There will be 9 spaces marked out from the others in the group and the free one in the middle). Make sure each person in the group gets your sheet* 

The way you win this game is to have each person mark something on your bingo sheet that applies to them and when you get five things in a diagonal, up/down, or across, you win. This is where it gets fun, if you have several things in common with the person then you can mark a space that will be harder for that person to get a bingo. Part of this game too is putting your name on the space you mark so whosever bingo sheet it is can know what they have in common with you.

It is a great way for people to interact with one another and learn things that they might not of known.

Enjoy!!

Until Next Time :)
