Clingo

A classroom bingo-style game — one caller on the big screen, a card for every player.

What it is

Clingo works like bingo with topic words. The tutor calls terms from a shared board; learners mark matching squares on their own card. First to complete the winning pattern wins.

How to play

  1. Open the caller on a large screen at the front of the room.
  2. Ask players to open a Clingo card on their phone or laptop (or scan the QR code on the pack page).
  3. When everyone has a card, press play on the big screen.
  4. Players mark matching words as they are called.

Pick a pack

Start at the Clingo hub and choose a topic pack (for example Mental Health, Adult Nursing, Scouse, or Clingo Tron). Each pack has a caller for the tutor and cards for players.

Tips

  • Project the caller; keep player cards on phones or laptops so everyone can join quickly.
  • Wait until every player has a card before pressing play.
  • Use the pack-page QR code so learners can open a card without typing a URL.
  • Everyone should use the same topic pack for the session.
  • Agree the winning pattern before you start (for example a full card or a line).
