Brown Shoe Bingo |  |
Start with a bingo card with a long list full of characteristics, facts, and qualities such as:
_________ has with brown shoes
_________ is wearing a red jumper or shirt
_________ is an only child
_________ drives a green car
_________ memorised this bible verse: _____________
_________ is wearing odd socks
etc
You also need a whole lot of pens or pencils.
Photocopy the card so there's enough to give each person one.
The aim of the game is to complete your card - find someone else in the group that has that quality/characteristic/etc and write their name next to it. The first person to complete the card and shout "Bingo!" is the winner!
This game works really well as an ice breaker for all ages. Make sure the questions suit the age group, and make sure there are some easy ones and some hard ones!

One of the ways i used to prolong this game and also allow kids to know more of each other, is to let everyone finish the entire card. Of course the first to finish gets a prize at the end. One way to make the information collected more accessible to all is to have a 'pop quiz' at the end of it "Who is the only child?".- therese (6 Jan 2009)
Hi!!! The games here are fun!!!! May I suggest that we come up with ice breakers suited for college students? so they would not be bored in the class.. thanks!

Instead of having the person look for the correct person and then write their name down, we did it so that the person who qualified had to sign their name in the space. That helps make the game a bit long and provides a challenge for the people who have to keep signing their names.

I made a large bingo card on the floor using sheets of paper then had the child who fit the characteristic on the square and we saw how long it took us to make a bingo!
