What’s in this template
Getting to Know You Bingo starts with 55 editable callouts, including “Can explain glassblowing”, “Has made soap”, “Speaks two languages”, “Enjoys spicy food”, “Has gone camping”, and “Can knit”. Use these as a ready-made source list, then swap in details that fit your group.
How to use it
To play, invite participants to introduce themselves and mark a square after a friendly match. Start with the provided callouts, add details that fit the group, and choose a clear win condition before the game begins.
Getting to Know You Bingo turns getting to know you into a flexible game for a group, classroom, party, watch-along, or independent activity. Its 55 editable callouts include Speaks two languages, Plays an instrument, Has run a race, Grows houseplants, and Has lived abroad. Because the bank contains more entries than one 5×5 card can display, generated cards can differ while staying focused on the same topic.
Give each participant a different card and invite them to find people who match the squares. Keep participation optional, allow anyone to skip a square, and use names or initials to record matches. Decide before starting whether one line, four corners, an X, or a blackout wins. A line keeps the activity moving; a blackout works better when the event itself is long enough to support it. The center FREE square is added automatically and is not part of the source bank.
The source notes add this guidance: Play: Find a person who matches each statement and write their name. Agree on a limit per person. Review the wording for your audience, replace any entry that does not fit the setting, and then generate the number of randomized cards you need. Saving the edited source list also makes it easy to reuse the template with a different group without rebuilding it from scratch.
