People Bingo Rules & Cards

One of the best ways for people to get to know each other is to play a game of People Bingo! It’s easy to play, just give each person a Bingo card, and make sure everyone has a pencil or a pen.

The Bingo players move around the area trying to be the first to get their Bingo card filled up with names. If someone can’t move easily, the players can go to that person.

It is always fun to get a prize or a treat for a job well done, whether you are the first to finish or the last. Everyone can be a winner playing People Bingo!

Some of the Bingo templetes are filled with ideas to use immediately, and other Bingo cards are left open, so that they may be filled in with ideas that fit the needs and ages of your players. Enjoy!

People Bingo Rules

• Decide as a group before the game begins what a completed Bingo will be. A lot will depend on the number of players and the ages of the players.
• Here are some examples of Bingos:
  • five boxes in a row – going across, down, or diagonally
  • an X diagonally through the Free space
  • a box shape – around the Free space making a square
  • a picture frame – all of the outside boxes filled in
  • blackout – with every box completed
• Each player may only sign in one box on Bingo card
• Players have to get other players to sign their Bingo card. Do not write another person’s name for them on a card.
