School Supply Bingo
A team building activity where you share daily riddles, and staff fill in bingo cards.
Alissa Christensen
A month of daily riddles turns everyday school supplies into a team building for teachers game. Share one riddle each morning, staff mark the answer on their bingo card, and winners turn in their card for a prize.
Why try it
Build team building for teachers into the daily routine with a shared riddle everyone solves together. It's a quick way to add friendly competition to the school day, plus you can involve your entire school for extra fun.
