Living Democracy » Textbooks » Teaching Democracy » Chapter 4 – Perceiving others » Exercise 4.8. – Globingo: “A human being is part of the whole world”.
Educational objectives The purpose of this game is to show that a human being is part of the whole world.
Resources A sheet of bingo squares for each student.
Question sheet.
Questions for group discussion.

Procedure

  1. The students fill in the squares according to the questions asked. Each square has got two lines: one for a name, one for a country. They should try to find for each square the name of one of their classmates, and the name of the country which fits.
    There are a variety of questions which can be asked. You usually need A to L but you can add different ones, though students are only allowed to use the name of a classmate once. Otherwise they have to cross out one square and can’t get a “bingo” in that row.
  2. After the game, there could be a group discussion. The students will find out that migration is something normal in just about every family and nation. They will talk about global situations and the world as a network.
