Connection bingo sends each guest to find someone who matches a prompt.

With Jam Bingo, guests scan one QR code and get one prompt at a time on their phone, like "Find someone who has been on a mission trip."

They find a match, talk, and scan that person's code to unlock the next prompt.

Time: 20-30 minutes. Materials: one QR code.

Here's the full step-by-step guide to running it.

Have guests write their go-to coffee order on their name tag.

Their first mission: find someone with the same order, or the complete opposite.

Time: 10 minutes. Materials: name tags and markers.

Print well-known Bible verses and cut each one in half.

Hand out halves at the door. Guests find the person holding the other half and share why that verse matters to them.

Time: 10 minutes. Materials: printed verse cards.

Each person sums up their faith journey in just three words.

Everyone else at the table gets one follow-up question.

It's short, it's personal, and it skips the awkward small talk.

• Mission trip to the mountains or the beach?

Time: 10 minutes. Materials: a list of questions.

Set up a quick service project at mixed tables, like writing cards for shut-ins or packing care kits.
