Music bingo › Team event
Music bingo as a team event or icebreaker
Most icebreakers feel like an exercise. Music bingo does not, because nothing is asked of you except listening. That is why even the people who normally hang back at team activities take part.
The trick is in the playlist: ask every team member for two songs. During the game it becomes clear who submitted what, and that produces more conversation than any introduction round.

Two songs per team member
Ask everyone for two tracks: one they genuinely love and one they are slightly ashamed of. That second category produces the best moments. With a team of fifteen you have thirty songs, enough for half an hour.
Guess who submitted what
Add an extra layer: at every song the team guesses who submitted it. Points for that count on top of the bingo. It turns a music game into a getting-to-know-you game.
Keep it short, especially during work hours
Half an hour is plenty. Choose a 3 by 3 card and play two rounds: first a row, then the full card. After that everyone can get on with the day.
