This FREE worksheet is a great ice breaker for new classes. "Getting To Know You BINGO" allows your students to get out of their seats and walk around the room to practice speaking to one another and find common ground. They have to ask each other (and you!) questions to find people who can fit the prompt in each square. Each square has facts such as "Someone who is wearing glasses," or "Someone who plays a sport". When they find someone who meets those criteria, they write the person's name in the box with the goal of getting a BINGO/Five in a row.
This is a quick and easy activity that usually gets kids laughing, and it can be fun for students to see what they have in common with their peers, learn each other's names and even find things in common with their teachers! If you have a smaller classroom, you can allow students to use names more than once but challenge them to do so only after they have used everyone in class. You can also make the game harder by challenging them to get "double BINGO" with 5 in a row in two directions, or to get a horizontal, L-Shape or vertical BINGO.
If you want to use prizes for this game, some cheap and easy ideas are:
Fun Stickers
Candy or Snacks
Classroom Coupons (free time, computer time, homework pass, etc.)
Pencils or other school supplies
Fidget spinners or other small toys
