The context: A youth worker relies on the same energizers repeatedly, such as bingo, and struggles to innovate. This time the topic of “Entrepreneurship” is also a bit new to him and he/she wants to make it meaningful by connecting to the other activities during the programme.

How can I make this better?
You surely want to get people more connected and energized, why don’t you use elements from different fields, e.g., theatre actions.
Wow, this is so cool!
Replace traditional questions with actions, e.g., creating a personal symbol to share with others.
Thank you very much for these suggestions, I think what suits me is incorporating the topic based questions and dynamic elements.
  1. There are also other options you can use - bingo with entertainment-based concepts like "Never Have I Ever" which can be so much fun.
  2. Change the bingo running method to suit the audience, adding dynamic elements. Change how participants interact every minute to keep the activity fresh.
  3. Theme activities around movies or trends (e.g., favorite characters) Build connections through shared pop culture interests.
