Description of the tool

Bias = inclination or prejudice for or against one person or group, especially in a way considered to be unfair.
Decide whether to play BINGO using category or subcategory cards.
a. Playing BINGO using subcategory cards helps players understand the nuances of the categories.
b. Playing with category cards will help with more general understanding of the categories and may result in shorter rounds of BINGO.
Print one bingo card for each player (or small group).
Print one Description Reference Page for each player (or small group). Players may refer to this page throughout the game.
Print one deck of scenario cards. These cards can be printed from your computer and cut out (preferably using a paper slicer).
Get some small candies or other small items (paper clips, coins etc.) that can be used as bingo chips.
Shuffle the scenario cards and place them face down in front of you.
The facilitator chooses one person (or small group) to begin the game.
On your turn, take one scenario card off the top of your scenario deck and read it aloud. If the scenario has been read before, select the next scenario card in your pile and read it aloud.
After each scenario is read, the larger group decides which category/subcategory the scenario best describes. In some cases, the group may decide that there is no “best fit” and the scenario fits more than one category/subcategory. If the group cannot come to a consensus, the facilitator makes the final decision.
If a player (or small group) has the category/sub-category on their bingo card, they may place a marker on that place.
Be the first player (or small group) to get three in a row — horizontally, vertically, or diagonally — and say, “Bingo.”
Strategy or the game continues: If a player gets bingo, but cannot explain a strategy for combating a form of gender bias on their card, s/he must take one marker off their bingo card (so that they no longer have three in a row). If this happens, the game continues until there is a new bingo winner.
