Office Icebreaker Bingo

Use this at an informal team introduction rather than during a performance review. The prompts avoid salary, home address, family status and health. Keep the round to 15 minutes.

What to prepare

Print the guest sheets and keep the host pages separate. Put a pencil at each seat.

How to run the game

Give each person a card. Ask one another about the prompts and write a name in matching squares. Use a different person in each square when the group is large enough. A completed row is enough for a short round; invite people to share one thing they learned.

Printing tips

Use 100% scale, disable browser headers, and select A4 or Letter to match your paper.

Find people who match the prompts. Ask before writing their names; anyone may pass.
