Back To Nurture Bingo
Time Allowance: 10-15 Minutes
Equipment Needed: One "Back to Nurture Bingo" Card for Each Person.
(Whenever possible, print the cards on white or light colored index card stock.)
1. Using a special Bingo card, participants fill in answers to imaginative and thought-provoking questions about humor, laughter, and play, and then go around the roomsharing their insights with others.
2. Give the following instructions:
- Take a few minutes to fill out as many boxes on your Bingo Card as you like. Write on the back of the card if you need more room.
- When you have completed at least five boxes, find one other person and share one of your answers with that person.
- After you have shared your answer with this other person, have him or her sign that particular box on your Bingo Card. Sign your own box whenever you complete one of the activities (the boxes with the dotted lines inside)
- Repeat this process with different people until you've shared all your answers.
- Whenever you have five squares in any direction (including the free space) signed by different people, yell out "OGNIB (BINGO said backward) as loudly as you can.
- Remember, the way to win in this game of Bingo is to have lots of fun meeting and learning neat stuff about other people in the group.
3. Variations:
- Have participants share their answers in small groups of 5 to 6 people as a way to get to know each other better.
- Have small groups of 5 to 6 people fill out the Bingo Card together, with each person answering two or three questions. Then have each group find another small group, exchange answers, and perform the activities with each other.
