This report presents the 'big health bingo' activity as a differentiated proposal for participatory management and care, at a health care unit, in the context of the Family Health Strategy. The experience is combined with the assumptions of the humanization and popular health education policy, focusing on the democratization and decentralization of management and care, recognizing the citizen-users and subject-employees as agents of collective practices within the Community. Value is given to cooperation and collective willingness, which allow the sharing of knowledge and health practices. By means of the game called 'bingo,' themes, speeches, thoughts, and interactions are highlighted as a common means of community expression and meanings about the moments of health unit. This process has allowed the strengthening of the professional-user bond and the exchange of knowledge on health management in their local councils.
