What to do
Use these UN Bingo Cards or make your own, have enough for the group.
Write each of the countries from the cards on a slip of paper, and put these into a container. If you have more than ten players, you can make up your own cards, using different combinations of countries, or people can play in pairs. Pull out one slip at a time and read out the country on it. Anyone who has that country on their card should tick it. When someone has a full set they must call out ‘United Nations’.
Explain that there are 193 members of the United Nations. You can see the full list of members and the date when they joined the UN here. The United Nations (or ‘UN’) was set up in 1945 as a way of bringing countries together after the Second World War. The UN deals with lots of important issues like health, child welfare, peace and the environment. You could follow up by asking the group if they can find their countries on a globe or world map.
