 A QUICK SUMMARY OF
“People Bingo!”

WHAT IS IT?
People Bingo! is an energiser involving communication and
teamwork. It’s fun, energetic and upbeat, and it creates a
tangible result and a great buzz.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The individual has to plan and then get signatures of colleagues in
agreement with the statement questions.

WHAT’S THE POINT?

Typically individuals approach this energiser haphazardly, they
then begin to realise that they could use a plan and a strategy to
succeed. They need to consider how innovative or traditional they
want to be in their approach to the task, and they have to be very
aware of time limits.
If reviewed, individuals may recognise a number of ways they can
improve the way they work together. This may include planning,
communication, innovation, creativity etc.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?

As facilitator, you will need around 5 minutes to set up the room.
The activity will take around 15-20 minutes to run, including the
de-brief session.

copies as you need from the enclosed CD.
