✏️ How to Play

Every student needs a pencil or pen. Instruct students to talk to and interview each other, finding and writing the name of a person in every square.

• The Rules: Students can’t write their own names in a square. Once you write a person’s name, you can’t write them again until you’ve spoken to every other person in the group (numbers permitting).
• How to Win: Instruct the students to call out “Bingo!” either when they get five in a row OR when every square is completed.
