The race is on to achieve 5 signatures in a row, be it horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. The first one to do so gets to shout, “BINGO!”
Clear instructions on each page ensure gameplay is straightforward and fun. Plus, there’s an allocated space for the student’s name and date, making it easy to keep track of each board.
Why “Find Someone Who…”? This game is more than just bingo. It’s about building bridges between students, understanding diverse experiences, and creating a cohesive classroom community.

How We Use this Resource:
"I have primarily used this (with children between the ages of 7 and 11) as a morning activity and as an online lesson during lockdown, with the children trained to come in, look at the board where the image and story starter sentence is displayed and are then free to discuss with fellow students or start writing their own descriptive paragraph or short narrative. They became brilliant at it and the frequent practice led to fantastic progress in their longer form creative writing.
We would sometimes read the example paragraph together, before, during or after they write. It was fun to identify similar themes to their own stories.
If we had time, or if they were struggling, we’d look at the questions together and see if pair, group or class discussion helped them get started."
Ideal For:
Creative Writing Tasks
Classroom Debates
Invigorating Starter Activities
Thoughtful Journaling Prompts
Homework Tasks
