Bingo! Make your lean presentation interactive with this fun game!

It's time to apply lean thinking to the bingo hall. Ever wonder how you could make a bingo hall more efficient? Me neither, but I'm sure somebody is working on it. And it won't be me because today we're going to do the opposite.

We're going to apply "bingo hall thinking" to lean!

Are your lean training slides a little dry? Are people falling asleep listening to you blabber on about the early days of automotive production? The answer is this great little lean game from 5Ssupply.com. Once you introduce "Lean Lingo Bingo" to your group, they will be nailed to every word you say... guaranteed!

Each member of your audience gets a bingo card before you start your presentation. On each card is a series of words related to Lean, in a random "bingo" pattern. Tell your audience to cross off any words that they hear you say. Following standard bingo rules, they must shout out "Bingo!" as soon as they complete a line.

Lean Lingo Bingo is a lean word game offered as a free download by 5Ssupply.com. You can find the download page here.
