Team Building Bingo Template

Strengthen team bonds with a bingo game built around shared experiences and quirks.

Free to start — create an account and we'll copy this template into it.

Use this ready-made Team Building Bingo card as a starting point for your next team session.

The squares give colleagues a reason to talk about things that do not always come up in normal work, without asking anyone to share more than they want to.

How to run this activity

Print or share the card digitally with your team ahead of a team building session or away day. Give everyone fifteen to twenty minutes to mingle and find colleagues matching each square. Debrief as a group afterwards, asking a few players to share the most surprising thing they learned. Award a small prize for the first full card.

What''s included?

A full set of work-appropriate prompts covering shared experience, useful expertise, cross-team connections and things colleagues may not know about each other.

Every player gets a randomised card, so the room does not complete the squares in the same order.

Edit the prompts

Swap in a few squares about your own team: shared projects, team history, skills people could teach each other or milestones worth recognising.

Leave out anything about salary, family status, health or age, and keep the tone in line with your team culture.

Live or printable Team Building Bingo

Live play works well at offsites, team days and company events where everyone has a phone available.

Printed cards can feel more natural when people are moving around a room and talking face to face.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, established teams often uncover surprising new facts about long-term colleagues. It works particularly well when mixed with newer joiners who haven't heard the stories yet.
