LIVE BINGO!

An Introduction Game for International Students

By Marjolijn Stehouwer, The Bridge, Nijmegan

The game is perfect to get to know a group of strangers in a short time. You learn about their

hobbyʼs, personalities and abilities.

You will need a small prize for the winner - chocolate or candy etc

The game goes like this:

Every person gets a Bingo sheet like the one on the next page. On the sheet there are a series of

boxes with descriptions of a person. Find the person in the group who matches the description and

get them to sign that box. The one that ﬁnds all the matching persons, and has their boxes signed,

in the shortest time wins.

For example: if the description is ʻplaying the pianoʼ you have to ﬁnd someone who can play the

piano. The person that can play the piano should sign the box. Only one person needs to sign each

box.

All the people in the room move about freely, asking each other the questions: Do you play the

piano? What is your hobby? Do you like bungee-jumping? etc. People need to be honest - as it is

often difﬁcult for them to that they can really do the requested thing!

In preparing the game, think about your group of people and change the descriptions accordingly.

Two different versions have been created for you, which you can adapt accordingly. If you expect

lower numbers of international students at your event, you should choose the smaller version.

HAVE FUN!!!
