  • Tic-Tac-Bingo! Icebreaker

    Tic-Tac-Bingo!

    We all know the valuable information we receive at the Bee® each year can help take our businesses to the next level. In this activity, you will review the latest and greatest tools revealed at the Bee this year. Didn't make it to the Bee?? Play along and get your pens ready for some very helpful note taking!

    You will need:
    • Copies of Tic-Tac-Bingo! Distribute one page per participant.
    • Copies of Bingo Clues. One copy for the activity leader. Copies for all participants to be distributed at the end of the icebreaker.
    • Small prizes to be awarded to winners, for example: Pay Day candy bars.
    Icebreaker exercise:
      1. Before your meeting, use the Bingo Clues worksheet to create a flipchart with the 10 tools listed for the participants to view before beginning the activity.

      2. Allow 1-2 minutes for review of the flipchart. The tools should be numbered on the flipchart according to the Bingo Clues page.

      3. Referring to the list of tools on the flipchart, ask Consultants to place a number between 1 and 10 in the spaces on the Tic-Tac-Bingo! handout. There are enough spaces for 9 numbers, so choose carefully and different from your neighbors!!

      4. Read any clue from the Bingo Clues page. (DO NOT distribute this page to the class until after the activity is complete.)

      5. As the clue is read, Consultants are to identify the tool being described from the flipchart. Once the tool is identified, if the corresponding number is on their Tic-Tac-Bingo! handout, the number should be crossed out. OPTIONAL: table groups may work together to identify the tools from the description.

      6. Continue to read clues, one at a time in a different order than what is posted on the flipchart. Allow time for Consultants to take notes about the tool and then cross out the corresponding numbers.

      7. When three numbers in a straight or diagonal line are crossed off, the Consultant can call out "Bingo!"

      8. In order to win a prize, the Consultant must also correctly recite the definition to each of the winning tools. An incorrect match of description and tool means the game continues.

      9. Distribute copies of the Bingo Clues to Consultants.
    Close the Icebreaker:

    Wrap up the exercise by reviewing the descriptions of the tools, making certain Consultants have copies of the descriptions. Emphasize these important points in wrapping up this icebreaker:
    • The Bee is a valuable place to learn about new business building tools. It's never too early to start planning your trip to next year's Bee!
    • Thank everyone for participating.
