Scissors
Access to a printer
Bowl or box

Instructions

Before you begin
You’ll need enough copies of the bingo cards from ‘Survival essentials icons and bingo cards’ sheet for every player to have one each (or one between two, if you want to play in pairs). You could print multiple copies or use a photocopier.
Cut out the labelled icons from the sheet. Put them into a box or bowl and mix them up.

Play the game
The person leading the game should give everyone a bingo card and a pen or pencil. Everyone should check they know what each item represents – if they’re not sure, they should ask now.
Once everyone’s ready to play, the person leading the game should take an icon out of the bowl without looking. They should call out what’s on it.
Everyone who has that item on their card should cross it out.
The person leading the game should continue to choose an icon from the bowl and call it out. Everyone should listen carefully each time so they can cross out items on their card.
Whenever someone’s marked five icons in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) they should call ‘bingo!’. The first player to call bingo is the winner.
The squares labelled ‘Free space’ are a bit like a wild card. They count as automatically filled in, so people can call bingo if they have line made of four crossed-out items and a ‘Free space’ square.
Everyone should talk about the different icons on their cards. What items are there? Why are these survival essentials? Were there any items on the bingo cards that weren’t survival essentials?
