Getting To Know You Bingo is a great mingling game that helps people get to know interesting facts about each other! It’s useful for corporate parties, classrooms, retreats, and many other settings where you would like to break the ice. This game works great for large and extremely large groups.
The goal of Getting To Know You Bingo is to get five squares in a row — vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. To get a square, you need to find someone who can say “yes” to the item in the square. For example, if the square says “owns a dog,” then if you find someone who currently owns a dog, then that person can sign their name in that square.

Playing the Getting To Know You Bingo Game
Give everyone a bingo sheet and a pen. Ask everyone to stand up and mingle with each other, introducing names and asking questions about each other. As people find other people who can say “yes” to squares on the sheet, they can sign their name on that square. You cannot use the same person for multiple squares.
Once someone has five in a row, they yell out “BINGO!” Everyone stops and then they read the five names and five items. You can ask each person to confirm or prove that the box is indeed true. For example, if the winning bingo sheet had John Smith sign his name for “Can do 50 pushups in a row,” you can ask John to do fifty pushups to prove that it is true.

Ice Breaker Bingo Printable
We run a separate Vacation Bible School for our students in 5th, 6th, and 7th grade. These middle school students are too old for the traditional VBS program we purchase, so we design our own program for these kids. We make it loosely fit in with the overall VBS theme, but we don’t stick to it too closely.
Get To Know You Bingo Generator
This means we have to come up with our own VBS games and activities for these kids. We are starting off our program with some icebreakers since some of the students don’t know each other. One icebreaker we are doing is “Getting to Know You” Bingo. In this game, each student is given a sheet with various phrases on them. They must find another person who matches the phrase and have them sign the card in that space. I used phrases about family, favorite things, etc., but you can create cards with whatever phrases you like.
We allocate a good amount of time for this activity, so we have them play “fill your card” bingo with this game. To make it shorter, have them just fill a row or column, or play “four corners” style.
I have included a set of 20 bingo cards below to get you started on using this game with your youth group or Vacation Bible School.
