It's the classic game of Bingo, with a mental health twist. The letters B-I-N-G-O are replaced with categories related to mental health, such as "Coping Skills", and the numbers are replaced with relevant responses, such as "Deep Breathing". This tool provides a fun way to prompt conversation in a group setting.
Suggested UseGroup Discussion: The Anger Bingo game is intended for use with a group between 2 and 15 members. We suggest taking some time after each turn for a brief discussion about the topic that's selected. Just in case there are answers you aren't familiar with, you can download the Game Guide (found in the Bingo Boards menu).
InstructionsGame Boards: After launching the game, click the "Bingo Boards" button in the top right corner of the screen. From here, you may choose printable boards for in-person sessions, or digital boards for remote play.
How to Play: Provide each player with a game board, and click "Start Game" to begin. A ball with a category and an answer will bounce onto the screen. Players will check their board to see if they have the matching category and answer, and if they do, they will mark it off using a pen, stamp, or whatever else is convenient. The first player to get a complete line of checked-off squares wins the game! The line can be horizontal, diagonal, or vertical.
Other Info: You can start a new game by clicking the "Reset Game" button in the top right corner of the screen. You can also review answers that have already been played in the "Answer History" section. Each time a ball is played, the answer will be added to the history list.
