100 Ways to Play at Work #15: Play Bingo!

Another boring meeting? Doesn’t have to be, because you’ve created your bingo card. Draw a 5x5 grid of boxes. Then fill in your “favourite” potential meeting moments.

Some examples include:

  • There are tech issues

  • Someone says “Touch base”/“Let’s circle back to that”/“Out of pocket”​ 

  • Someone interrupts to ask “Are you done with the room?”

  • AI gets mentioned (maybe use as the guaranteed spot in the middle)

  • Someone comes late and apologizes, then leaves early and apologizes

  • Someone says “This could’ve been an email” then raises their hand for a high five but there are no takers so they high five themselves and say “Noice!”

  • ​The meeting runs late

And when you get 5 in a row, let them know by yelling "Bingo!" that this was officially a meeting.
