Icebreaker Bingo Maker

Step 1: Create the Bingo Cards

• Decide on the number of players and create a bingo card template with a 5x5 grid (25 squares).
• Label each square with a different question or prompt (e.g., "Has traveled to another country", "Speaks more than one language", etc.).
• You can use a random question generator or come up with your own questions.

Step 2: Customize the Questions

• For each square, write a question or prompt that is relevant to the group or event. For example:
  • "Has a pet"
  • "Has a sibling"
  • "Has a favorite hobby"
  • "Has a unique talent"
  • "Has a favorite book/movie/TV show"
• Make sure the questions are not too personal or intrusive.

Step 3: Distribute the Bingo Cards

• Give each player a bingo card and a marker (pen or pencil).
• Explain the rules and how to play.

Step 4: Play the Game

• During the icebreaker, have each player ask the person next to them (or in a small group) if they fit the description in each square.
• If the answer is yes, the player marks the corresponding square on their bingo card.
• The first player to get five squares in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) calls out "Bingo!" and wins.

Example Questions:

• Has a favorite sports team
• Has a sibling with the same birthday
• Has a favorite type of music
• Has a unique skill (e.g., playing an instrument, speaking a language)
• Has a favorite type of food

Tips and Variations:

• To make it more challenging, you can add more squares or use more specific questions.
• To make it easier, you can use simpler questions or provide hints.
• You can also add a time limit or a scoring system to make it more competitive.
• Consider using a theme for the questions, such as "Travel" or "Food" to make it more engaging.
