What you need
- One printed bingo grid per student (in the printable kit), pencils
Setup
Print one grid per student ahead of time, or hand out the printable kit and let kids fill in their own grid from a shared prompt list.
How to run it
- Give each student a 4x4 grid of boxes, each with a different "find someone who…" prompt (has a summer birthday, plays an instrument, has been on a plane, etc.).
- On "go," students walk around and ask classmates the prompts, writing a name in the matching box when someone qualifies — one name per box, no repeats.
- First student to fill a row, column, or full card calls "Bingo!"
- Confirm a few of their matches out loud as a quick share-out before moving on.
Variations
- Swap in class-specific prompts once you know the group ("has read every book in a series," "can name all 50 states").
- Run it as a full-card "blackout" bingo for a longer session instead of first-row-wins.
