People BINGO! How to play:

Each person gets a bingo card with key words or phrases on it. As we say the words throughout the session you cross them off – the winner is the person who crosses off all of the words and shouts BINGO!

M & M’s How to Play

• Pass the bag of M&M’s around the team • Take as many as you want, just don’t eat them yet. • Once everyone has their chocolate tell everyone an interesting

fact about yourself for each chocolate that you have. The facts should be things that no-one else on the table knows.
