Buzzword Bingo Games for E-Learning #339

E-Learning Bingo Games #339: Challenge | Recap

Buzzword bingo games offer a playful way to poke fun at one’s industry by highlighting overused buzzwords and catchphrases. Not only do the games give insiders a chance to commiserate over the misuse of meaningful concepts, but they also help newbies identify general terms and areas they should learn more about. It’s a win-win for everyone!

Since our industry’s largest conference is just around the corner, it’s a perfect time to create our E-Learning Buzzword Bingo cards. But first, let's look at some examples of interactive bingo games from our challenge five years ago.

Pantone Color of the Year Bingo

How well can you recognize twenty years of Pantone's annual color picks? Give this quiz-based bingo game a try and see how many Pantone colors of the year you can recognize.

UKLA Heroes Bingo

One of the things I like about the challenge is how the community inspires and supports one another. After viewing Jackie's example, Ridvan created a version that leveraged layout ideas from Jackie's example. Ridvan's game features a comic-themed design and includes a countdown timer and sound effects.
