Description:

Answers Bingo is a game used to validate participant learning that makes it fun for participants to show what they learned, through collaborating with each other to answer questions and win the game. Each participant receives an Answers Bingo card with validation questions on it. Participants are invited to find others to fill in the correct answers on their cards, with only 1-2 questions maximum being answered by each participant. When a participant feels s/he has all answers correct, across or down, on their cards, they yell “BINGO!” Answers Bingo helps participants to mix and learn from each other.

When to Use:

Answers Bingo takes approximately 30-45 minutes at end of a training, depending on the number of validation questions. This method works best when there are not a large number (9-15) validation questions to go through at the end of the training—perhaps if Pick and Play or other validation method has already assessed some competencies, or for a short, ˝ or 1-day training.
