Work Meeting Lingo Bingo Card
Bingo for buzzwords, circular discussions and the meeting that could have been an email.
What work meeting bingo is about
Work meetings run on a dialect of their own. Circling back, taking things offline and syncing up are harmless on their own, but together they make a perfect bingo card, especially for long recurring calls.
What to listen for
Listen for jargon, "can everyone see my screen," "you are on mute," action items without owners and decisions postponed to another meeting. Groupthink and anchoring often appear too.
Tips for watching and playing
Play with trusted teammates, keep phones discreet and stay on task if you are presenting.
A short timer matching the meeting length keeps the game tidy.
When you host, pick whichever available packs fit the moment, or write your own private pack. Nothing selects a theme pack for you automatically.
