How it works
This pharmacy bingo is a staff game for the counter and the dispensary: small moments of a shift, from Drive-through drawer sticks to Queue cleared to zero. No medicine, dose or condition appears on any card.

A card each for the week
Set How many cards to the head count and press the print button. Each person keeps a card for the week and marks a square when it happens on their own shift. The center is free, and the first line of five takes the prize the team picked.
One side of the pharmacy
Under More options, Ready-made list deals from one list alone: Counter and drive-through, Behind the counter or Team and good moments. One list fills a 5 × 5 card by itself, so its cards carry nearly the same squares in a different order.
Tips
- Keep the cards where only staff go. No square names or mocks a person, and a square you add should pass the same test.
- At a staff lunch, press Call the game, then Call the next one, and play it like called bingo.
Questions and answers
Is anything on the cards clinical?
No. The list holds no medicine name, dose or condition and gives no advice. Its squares are printers, phones, queues, deliveries and team moments, and none makes fun of a customer or touches a mistake with a prescription.
Does it suit a hospital pharmacy?
Two lists mostly do: Behind the counter and Team and good moments, apart from a few store squares such as Gate up right on time. Counter and drive-through is written for a retail store. A hospital team can type over any line under More options.
Can we add our own store's squares?
Yes. Under More options, press Enter after any line in Word list, one per line and type yours: the door chime, the shelf that sticks. Leave customers and colleagues out of it.
