Corporate bingo card template
A twenty-five-square people bingo for conferences, with prompts grouped into people, learning, recognition, network, fun and wrap-up. Each square has a proof method, points and a level, so the card mixes people from different teams without forcing anyone.
No sign-up needed.
Who it is for
- Association secretariats who want delegates to meet
- Corporate event managers planning an icebreaker
- Facilitators who need a card they can tune by level
How to use it
- Swap the prompts to fit your audience, keeping the proof column honest.
- Keep roughly half the squares easy and a fifth hard.
- Leave the centre square free for the feedback form.
- Decide in advance whether you award by square, by line or by completed card.

Questions people ask
How do I stop it feeling forced?
Make the easy squares genuinely easy and keep contact exchange optional. People will join in if the first square costs nothing.
What proof is best?
A scan is quickest, a photo is the most fun, and a facilitator tick is best for conversations. Mix them.
Can bingo run without an app?
Yes. Print the card and use the facilitator tick for every square. The app only makes scoring faster.
