Type of Game: Icebreakers Party Game - 5 in a Row

Equipment: List of Characteristics, Pens/Pencils for Everyone, and Bingo Cards for Everyone

Formation: Individual

# of Players: 10+

Description: Make a list with about 30-40 characteristics that the guests may have. For Example: Brown hair, Blue eyes, Wearing a watch, etc. Using the characteristics, make up enough BINGO boards for everyone that will be there. Each square should contain a characteristic such as, Blue Eyes in each square.

Vary the boards in order so that no two people have an identical BINGO board. As the people come in, hand them a BINGO board and pen/pencil. Then, they must go around and ask people to sign their names if they have those characteristics in order to fill spaces on their board. Once someone has gotten BINGO or BLACKOUT they win.

Everyone will probably get at least one BINGO and if not BLACKOUT. Players must sign their names on someone else's board. Give winners a prize and whoever gets BLACKOUT first receives the special grand prize.
