Been Listening Bingo

Creative Exercise for Meetings, Webinars and Seminars

Do you keep falling asleep in meetings, webinars and seminars? What about those long and boring conference calls?

Here's a way to change that:

Before (or during) your next meeting, webinar, or conference call, prepare your "Been Listening Bingo" card by drawing a square 5"x5" dividing it into columns - five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks.

Write one of the words/phrases/concepts you plan to talk about in each block.

Your audience checks off the appropriate block when they hear one of those words/phrases.

When a participant gets five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, they quickly stand up or raise their hand and holler enthusiastically, "Been Listening Bingo!" They then relate the five items they heard and why they checked those boxes!

Testimonials from satisfied “Bingo" players:

"What a gas! Online or in person meetings will never be the same for me. It is a challenge to try to be the first winner!"
