Human Bingo

WHAT TO DO:

• Ahead of time run off enough copies for one each (you will need pens too).

• Explain that the aim of the game is to write a different name in each square.

• People need to ask questions to find the person that goes in the square. Model this by reading out one of the squares and asking what the question is, e.g.: loves to sleep in (Do you love to sleep in?)
