Explore new management skills with a 5×5 training bingo board. Tick squares as you plan one-to-ones, discuss missed deadlines or practise giving feedback during the session.

How to run this activity

The facilitator selects relevant examples and exercises. Tick a square when its idea is actually demonstrated, discussed or practised. Pause for brief, voluntary reflections; play for one line rather than trying to force every topic.

Facilitator guidance

Review the 24 skills and discussion points on the 5×5 board, and select exercises that genuinely cover them. Match selected squares to the workshop agenda; never invent activities just to complete bingo. Provide alternatives for quieter learners and avoid forcing personal stories. Aim for one line rather than covering every topic.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure learners to disclose private information. Offer opt-outs and alternative squares. Check group size, accessibility and whether the session offers varied cues and achievable winning lines.
