Activity Instructions:
Students will learn about the importance of integrity by playing a fun and interactive game of Integrity Bingo. This activity encourages them to reflect on honest and responsible behavior in everyday situations while recognizing the role integrity plays in building trust and strong relationships.
Today, you’ll be playing Integrity Bingo! Each square represents an action that shows integrity, like telling the truth or keeping a promise. As you mark off squares, think about times when you’ve demonstrated integrity and how these choices impact the people around you.
Instructor Notes: Once students have filled out their bingo boards, place the number cutouts in a box or bag. Pull out one at a time and call off the number. Once a student has called, “Bingo!” (five covered board spaces in a row horizontally, diagonally, or vertically), have them choose one of the integrity examples from their bingo sheet and provide an example of a time they acted with integrity.
- Gather the materials you will need to play Integrity Bingo including a bingo board, bingo cover chips, and a writing utensil.
- Use your writing utensil to fill in each box on your bingo card with your favorite integrity examples from the list. Be sure to include the number associated with each example! Each box should have a different example.
- For example, you might write, “1. Being on time.” in the first box on your card.
- As your teacher calls out numbers, place a bingo cover over any number that you have listed on your card.
- To win, you must cover five squares in a line vertically, horizontally, or diagonally and call out, “BINGO!”
