Play

Engage students in a conversation about how we can learn more about others, and build trust and understanding. You might ask: 

• Think about a friend that you have—how did you become friends?
  ‍
• What are some things that you share in common?
  ‍
• What is something unique that you appreciate about your friend?
  ‍
• Why is it important to recognize our similarities and appreciate our differences?
  ‍

Then, distribute a copy of the bingo card below to each student. To play, students should walk around the room, introduce themselves to other students, and ask questions about the different prompts. If they meet someone who matches one of the boxes, they can ask that person to sign their name in the box. Once students are able to fill out five boxes in a row, they can shout “Bingo!” and win the game!

During the activity, encourage students to ask follow-up questions to learn more about each other. For example, they might ask, “Can you share more about that?”
