RIM Month: RIMM Bingo

“RIMM Bingo”

In preparation of RIM Month coming in April, try running RIMM Bingo!

Objective: The objective of this game is to encourage staff members to engage in good records management practices by completing various tasks related to records management.

How to Play:

1. Create a bingo card with various records management-related tasks. Each square on the bingo card should have a different task or challenge related to records management, such as “Conduct a records inventory,” “Complete a file plan,” or “Attend a records management training session.”
2. Share the bingo card with staff members and encourage them to complete as many tasks as possible during RIMM.
3. As staff members complete tasks, they can mark off the corresponding squares on the bingo card.
4. The first staff member to complete a line (either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally) on their bingo card is the winner.
5. As an extra incentive, you could offer a prize or recognition to the winner, such as a gift card or a certificate of achievement.

This game can be a fun and engaging way to encourage staff members to engage in good records management practices, and can help to create a sense of friendly competition and camaraderie among team members. It can also be used to promote awareness of RIMM and the importance of good records management practices within the organization.
