Kick off a new school year with a Getting to Know You Icebreaker Bingo!

Icebreaker Bingo – Back to School Activity

It’s that time of year! Back to school means a fresh group of faces to introduce to each other. Get your students up, moving, mingling, and making new friends with a quick round of Icebreaker Bingo.

Easy Student Introduction Activity

To participate, give each student a Bingo board and a writing utensil. Set a timer, or play some music and have your students walk around the classroom, stopping to chat with their classmates. If a prompt applies to a student, that student signs the bingo board. The first student to fill a row or column yells BINGO! and is declared the winner.

    Could pictures be added to the writing to make it easier for kids who struggle to read? Otherwise a great activity and formatted well.

    "FREE" box? What a lovely game. Thank you. Indoor Game for day 1 sorted :-)

      The FREE box allows all the children to cross out a square before they even begin the game. This helps them to complete a row of boxes (either horizontally, vertically or diagonally). So glad to hear that you have your first day back sorted, Zuriette!
