Questions and answers
What are good human bingo questions for students?
Ones any child can answer yes to without giving away anything private: can whistle, can draw a star, has read a whole book series. This list leaves out family, money, addresses, bodies, religion, crushes and phones, so no child is put on the spot.
How many squares can one classmate sign?
One per card. On the 4 × 4 card a line then takes four different classmates, so everyone moves. With fewer than 10 children, allow two signatures each, or switch Grid to 3 × 3, where the free center reads Sign it yourself.

There is no blank card. To write every square yourself, press Empty the list and type 16 or more lines, one per square. For number cards, the bingo card generator deals 1 to 75 anywhere on the card; it has no blank card either.

How this list was compiled: Own work by the editors: 96 'find someone who' squares written for children, 24 in each of four groups, in blocks: two groups in short words for ages 6 to 8 (lines 1 to 48) and two for ages 9 to 12 (lines 49 to 96), so that any one group alone fills a 5 x 5 card with a free center. Child-safe by rule: every square asks about something a child can do, likes or has done, and none asks about family make-up, money, addresses, bodies or looks, religion, crushes, phones or social accounts. Squares that stand in for where a family comes from or what it can afford were reworded or left out: a square about the language spoken at home became 'Can say hello in 3 languages', a square about where a child was born became 'Has visited another state', and there is nothing about flights, vacations, lessons that cost money, lunches or who lives at home. 'Has a loose tooth' and 'Is wearing something green' are the only squares about what can be seen on a child, and both are things that change by the day. Screened against the site blocklist (nothing sexual, no alcohol or drugs, no self-harm, no strangers, no phones, no risky food, nothing illegal). No square repeats a square of this site's human bingo, which is written for adult mixers, and none of its wordings was adapted. The lines beside some squares are the editors' what-counts rules.
