What is Principles bingo?
Principles bingo is a workplace culture card where employees mark off squares when they observe company values in action — like when a colleague demonstrates core value or someone takes ownership of mistake. Players watch for real behaviors such as disagree and commit in discussion or cross-team collaboration happens, turning abstract principles into a recognition game that reinforces organizational culture throughout the workday.
How do teams use Principles bingo for culture building?
Teams play during meetings or all-hands sessions, marking squares when they witness behaviors like take action without being asked or someone acts with integrity. Managers often run it during onboarding so new hires learn values by spotting examples such as I showed Entrepreneurial leadership or deliver exceptional work quality in real scenarios, making abstract principles concrete and memorable through observation rather than lecture.
Can I customize a Principles bingo card for our company values?
Yes — the card includes clues like I displayed Ownership and I reviewed resources Aya provided about Principles that you can adapt to your organization's specific language. You can print multiple unique cards so each team member watches for different behaviors, ensuring broader coverage of moments when colleagues enact values like notice details matter in situation or witness respectful interaction across departments.
