Training Session Bingo

Keep trainees engaged and attentive throughout longer training sessions with bingo prompts.

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

Long training sessions can be hard to stay focused on, especially with dense material and back-to-back modules. This bingo card gives trainees a reason to listen closely, spotting key terms, moments and interactions throughout the session.

How to run this activity

Distribute the card at the start of the training day, printed or on screen for virtual sessions. Trainees mark off squares as relevant moments happen, such as a specific term being used or a group exercise taking place. Trainers can pause briefly at natural breaks to check progress and keep energy up. Reward the first full card with recognition or a small prize at the end of the day.
