As I’ve mentioned on several occasions, I’m charged with planning and hosting instructor led training, which includes organizing team building activities. With each training event, we’ll visit an off-site facility such as an escape room or adventure course, but we’ll also use free time between presenters to further build the team’s camaraderie.
Occasionally a subject matter expert will finish his/her presentations early, or sometimes, the group won’t use all the time allocated to their breaks (included in the schedule to allow participants a chance to check work emails, return phone calls, or network with their corporate office contacts). To be prepared for any free time with our April event, I developed a simple “get to know you” bingo game. Feel free to use and edit this file, maybe adding industry or company specific traits. You can tie those organizational bingo blocks back to you larger learning goals, or you can simply use this to game encourage conversation and get the group up and moving around- almost always a positive experience in your classroom environment.
