The phrase refers to a game created using a bingo card format. Each square on the card contains a word, phrase, or predicted action related to a former U.S. president’s speech to Congress. Players mark off squares as they hear or see the corresponding items during the address. An example would be a card with squares such as “build the wall,” “fake news,” or “mentions the military.”
This activity provides a means of engaging with a political speech in a more interactive way. It can be employed to foster critical listening skills, encourage audience participation, and inject an element of levity into what is typically a formal and serious event. The creation and use of these cards often reflect broader sentiments and trends within the political discourse surrounding the speaker and their administration.
