Slytherin Bingo with some additional competition!!

Each participant gets a bingo card with 24 tasks/goals/challenges (ordered in a 5x5 table with the middle cell as a free joker). When you finish a task, you mark it as done on your card, and whenever you can cross off an entire row, column or diagonal, you have a bingo.


You can choose the 24 bingo items (tasks) completely by yourself, so you can tailor the difficulty and time involved to your own needs. If you want to add an element of surprise, you can also ask others to give you a few tasks.
The items can be food-related (e.g. stay under your carb goal 5/7 days), workout-related (e.g. exercise for 30 minutes 3/7) or something else (e.g. do a favor for a friend, have a relaxing evening, organize your wardrobe, and so on).


You can mix goals than can be achieved in a day, in a week or in several weeks.

Your tasks should be chosen such that you can finish everything in 4 weeks, since this is a 5 week term. No 2nd card this term.


You may include up to 12 items which relate directly to the main Hogwarts challenge (e.g. "do all classroom assignments in week 2", "keep my Unbreakable Vow", "get 1400 points in the first Quidditch match", and so on).
Make sure that you choose specific and measurable tasks (e.g. "work out for 20 minutes 3x per week" instead of "work out more")!


The tasks should pose a challenge for you - not too hard, but not too easy, either. You decide! At the start of the challenge one is often too optimistic about what one can do, so a good strategy may be to scale down the first ideas a little bit.


You may change up to two items during the course of the game, whenever you want in these 4 weeks.


You can find a list of ideas in the first tab of the spreadsheet (link below). Or you can browse through the cards of other students for inspiration.

If you want to play, grab an empty tab in the file here, enter your name and fill in your items:

AND this term we are going to add some Slytherin points to the Bingo mix. These points are just our Slytherin house points but the one with the most points gets the most bragging rights!! So let's bring on the team competition.....

    Do I shout Bingo!? Lol. I'm so happy this morning, not only did I get to submit a loss (and therefore got a bingo!), I am also really proud that it was a good loss. Worked really hard for it, so pretty proud.

    You go girl! 👏👏👏
