Description

Engage your students with “Find Someone Who…”, a classmate bingo game designed to foster connections, encourage conversations, and elevate the classroom community. Perfect for all ages from Grade 2 through to High School and beyond.

Unique Features:

• Inclusivity at Its Best: With 75 vivid descriptions complemented by clear images, this game is a blessing for ESL (English as a Second Language) students. The visuals aid in understanding, breaking language barriers, and facilitating genuine interactions.
• Diverse Gameboards: Dive into a set of 100 randomly generated gameboards. No two boards are the same, ensuring every student’s experience is unique!
• Comprehensive Pack: The downloadable zip file contains:
  • • Vibrant gameboards in both US Letter and A4 size (PDF format).
    • A greyscale version, perfect for print-friendly needs.
    • A PowerPoint presentation introducing the game and the rules.
    • An exclusive link to the Google Sheets spreadsheet for effortless customization.
    • An exclusive link to the Google Slides version of the game introduction presentation.

How to Play: Each gameboard boasts a 5×5 grid formation, with a ‘Free Space’ square in the center. Every square encompasses a description, an illustrative image, and space for a classmate’s signature. The goal? Connect with classmates, discover commonalities, and collect signatures. But here’s the twist: each student can only sign twice, and participants can sign their own board once. The race is on to achieve 5 signatures in a row, be it horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The first one to do so gets to shout, “BINGO!”

Clear instructions on each page ensure gameplay is straightforward and fun. Plus, there’s an allocated space for the student’s name and date, making it easy to keep track of each board.
