Here's a variant of your lecture game which is often played in law school.

In each and every law school class, there are invariably some brown nosers who ask questions, or make comments very frequently. (Most students, of course, stay silent).

The participants in the game make bingo "cards" by cutting up the photo roster of the class, and pasting the photos of the frequent talkers (called a-holes, more politely, gunners) to a sheet. Each player pastes them in a different order. Each participant must cut out sixteen people, and arange them in a 4x4 pattern.

As the class proceeds, and the gunners make their (usually inane) comments, the players mark down who has talked. As soon as one player has marked a straight line, he yells BINGO!!!

In a variant of the game, the winner must raise his hand, and make a comment himself, incorporating the word "BINGO" into that comment.

Just thought you may be interested.
