Activity Description: A bingo-style game where youth find items or complete tasks on a list.

Items Needed:

• Bingo sheets with diverse descriptions in each square (e.g., “Traveled more than 20 minutes to get here,” “Only child,” “Likes spicy food,” or “Didn’t see the last superhero movie”) – Hint, Use a Bingo Card Generator with a list of prompts
• Pens or markers for each scout
• (Optional) Small prizes for Bingo winners

Instructions:

1. Hand out Bingo sheets and pens to each youth.
2. Explain that youth need to mingle and talk to others, finding someone who matches the description in a square on their sheet. For example, if a square says, “Traveled more than 20 minutes to get here,” they need to find a youth who did, introduce themselves, and write that youth’s name in the square.
   • Each youth name can only be used to fill one square on a sheet. There are no repeats allowed.
3. Youth try to fill a row, column, or diagonal of squares, just like traditional Bingo.
4. (Optional) Once a youth completes a Bingo, they come to the leader to verify their sheet and receive a prize.

Variations

• Adjust the Bingo sheet descriptions to include themes like hobbies, favorite foods, or cultural references based on your group’s interests.
• Make it a “Blackout Bingo,” where youth must fill all the squares to win.
