Spot moments from an awards ceremony or gala dinner, from a winner thanking their team to a highlight reel playing or a table raising a toast. Tick them off as the evening unfolds.
How to run this activity
Watch or take part in the activity and tick a square only when its moment actually occurs. The first line of five wins; use the free centre. Do not stage unsafe actions or interrupt the event to complete a square.
Facilitator guidance
Check the board against the actual programme or media, including how often cues are likely to occur. Aim for a line of five rather than a full card, and replace unrealistic cues with suitable alternatives so a winning line is achievable. Consider your group size and accessibility needs, and let players opt out or use alternative squares.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to share private information. Keep participation optional, and never stage unsafe actions or interrupt the event to complete a square.
