Virtual Bingo with Living Digital - Transcript
Looking for ways to engage your team virtually? The Living Digital team has got you covered!
We tried our own version of BINGO, remote working special edition, of course, during our latest
meeting. Let’s see how it went down.

Remote working COVID-19 edition BINGO
So, seen or heard a colleague’s pet during a video call. Yeah! Everyone!
Talked for a few minutes without realizing you were on mute. I’m guilty!
I was going to say, Raana has!
Had to call IT for computer issues. Definitely!
This is a good one: Pretended to have ‘video issues’ because of a bad hair day. Hm (cricket
sound) of course not!
And there you have it! Not only was it a nice break, but it felt especially great to engage and
have some virtual fun together. If you’d like to try out our BINGO at your next team meeting, you
can download it by heading to www.canada.ca/livingdigital. Don’t forget to share your
experience with us by using #LivingDigitalBINGO in the comments below!

Let’s face it, moving from in-person to online meetings has its challenges. Remote working means we don’t get to have casual run-ins with our colleagues in our shared spaces at the office, and this means less opportunities to exchange dad jokes, and everyday “OMG” moments. However, as we navigate the online environment, we’ve all had our fair share of relatable experiences, and we still want to be able to share a laugh over them! So, we put these down in the form of a bingo card and played it at our team meeting. Check out how it went down for us in our video, and download the fillable PDF we made to try it out with your team!
The verdict:
Overall, bingo was a success. Our team had a good time laughing and sharing memories of funny moments we’ve had since working from home. The fillable PDF is super easy to use. One thing to note, however: your colleagues will likely not hesitate to call you out on the stuff you’re guilty for!
We give this activity a: 10/10

Round up your team, download the fillable PDF and take turns sharing your responses on which member of your team you think would best fit each of the 10 statements your team has chosen to play with. Get ready for laughs and an all-around good time, as you learn what your colleagues really think of you.
Our Verdict:
It’s safe to say our team definitely enjoyed a laugh (or ten) as we participated in this game! It was an easy way to engage with everyone and learn more about each other! It’s little activities like this that make us feel connected even when we’re apart!
We give this activity a: 9.5/10 (-.5 because I’m only slightly offended that my colleagues think I’d be late to my own wedding…they know me a little too well)
