Break the ice and get to know your teammates with a game of People Bingo! It's endlessly customizable and easy to execute using our coach template.

The idea of People Bingo is simple: it's a bingo card with a variety of silly, random, or interesting characteristics. The objective: find someone on your team who matches the characteristic on your Bingo card, and write their name on your sheet of paper.
This game not only helps riders and coaches learn names, but it can spark conversations and help you learn about your riders outside the context of mountain biking.
Use our People Bingo template as-is, or create your own card specific to your team! Note that creating your own card requires a login to Canva, a free graphic design software.
