Free Printable Diversity Icebreaker Bingo Cards

This "find someone who" card invites people to share the places, languages, foods and traditions that shaped them. Participants mingle and ask one another about the squares; when someone says a square fits them, the player writes that name down and listens to the short story behind it. Five names in a row makes a bingo, though the conversations are the real goal.

    How to play diversity icebreaker bingo

    1. Set the number of players, then press Print or save as PDF. Each player gets a different card.
    2. Call items in random order with the built-in caller, or use the printed call list.
    3. Players mark each called square. The first to complete a row, column or diagonal shouts "Bingo!"

    Tip: Set one ground rule before starting: ask, never guess. Players offer the squares that fit them rather than being picked out by how they look or sound, and anyone may pass on any question. Close by inviting a few volunteers to share something they learned.

    Questions and answers

    Are the bingo cards really free?

    Yes. You can print up to 10 unique cards per game at no cost, as often as you like, without creating an account. The optional Unlimited Pass is for larger groups.

    How do I save the cards as a PDF?

    Press "Print or save as PDF". In the print window choose "Save as PDF" as the printer. On a phone, use the share or print option in the preview that opens.

    Is every card different?

    Yes. Each card is shuffled separately from your list, so players cannot all win at the same time. The more items your list has beyond the number of squares, the more the cards differ.

    Can I use my own words?

    Yes. Replace the list with your own words or phrases, one per line. A 5×5 card with a free space needs at least 24 items, a 4×4 card needs 16 and a 3×3 card needs 8.

    What paper should I use?

    Normal printer paper works. Card stock lasts longer if you plan to reuse the cards. The layout fits both US Letter and A4.
