University of Greenwich Business School Induction
BINGO Tutor instruction Sheet
AIM
The purpose of the game is to get the group to mix and at the same time find
something out about each other
METHOD
1 Give each student a copy of the ‘BINGO’ sheet
2 Explain:
They need to write the name of a person in each box who has done the thing
written in that box
They can only use the same name a maximum of twice
Continue looking until you have a name in every box – then shout BINGO
3 Try to make sure the group uses all the space in the room rather than stay in a
‘huddle’
4 When one or two people have shouted BINGO – or you think the game has gone
on long enough (15 mins?), stop the game and ask group to sit down
REFLECTION
1 Choose maybe ten of the items to go through. Ask who has done these
2 Find out more details about some of them eg
What sort of musical instrument?
Where in London do they live?
How long a journey to get to university?
What theatre, art gallery, concerts have they been to
Why do they like/hate Neighbours East Enders etc
3 Discuss
How much information was just interesting and how much might be of use in one
situation or another in the future? Eg Part time job may be useful as an example
of an organisation in an essay
Knowing the skills of your collegues (eg PowerPoint\\\\\0 may be useful when
doing group work
4 Explain
The Personal and Professional Development course will ask you to consider
some of the experiences you have in your life and reflect on what you have
learned from them Eg volunteering for a charity, looking after a child, a part time
job, studying in UK for the first time etc
University is not just about the development of your academic knowledge.
It is also about your growth as a competent individual. You need to
develop in confidence, in the range of skills you have, in your ability to
solve problems and to be able to relate effectively to other people.
PPD will give you a framework in which you can monitor how this
development is progressing
