Find Someone Who Bingo
Mingle, ask and get to know everyone in the room!
Students walk around with a bingo board, find a classmate who matches a square and ask them to sign it. One signature per person means everyone has to talk to lots of different people, not just their friends, and four in a row is BINGO. Perfect for the first day back, a new student joining or a Friday brain break.
Part of the Back to School Bundle.
This pack is one of 12 in the bundle, alongside a Start Here plan for your first fortnight back: see the full Back to School Bundle.
What's included:
- How to Play page, with ideas to mix it up
- Four different bingo boards, so neighbours don't match (16 squares each, like "can whistle" and "has been on a plane")
- A colour version of board one
- A blank board for your class to write its own prompts
- Australian and US versions
- Terms of Use
How it works:
- Give each child a board and a pencil, mixing the four versions around the room.
- Students walk around and ask a classmate about a square.
- If it's a match, the classmate signs that square. One signature per person!
- Four in a row, column or diagonal: call BINGO! Then keep going for a full card.
Why teachers love it:
- Everyone talks to someone new, not just the person next to them
- Four boards mean no copying from a neighbour
- The blank board lets your class write its own prompts
- Finish with a share-back: who signed your square, and one thing you learnt
Curriculum: Suits Foundation to Year 3. Linked to the Australian Curriculum (Version 9), Health and Physical Education, Personal, social and community health: getting to know others and interacting respectfully.
