Spot moments of welcome during an optional Bahá'í community social activity, such as a guest sharing a hopeful local idea, a child showing a drawing or a host thanking helpers.

How to run this activity

Offer this optional bingo only during a social activity approved by the event organiser, never during sacred ceremonies, prayer, meditation, fasting moments or active religious service. Check whether each suggested cue fits this actual gathering; allow alternatives and opt-outs without explanation.

Facilitator guidance

Confirm the programme, sacred and social boundaries, dietary needs and accessibility requirements with the organiser. Check all 24 cues against the actual gathering with the organiser. Offer alternative cues, one-line wins or smaller boards where needed, and let anyone opt out without explanation.

Safety and inclusion

Keep this optional activity organiser-approved, and never score prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning performance, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photos or disclosure of religious beliefs or fasting practices, and avoid culturally stereotyped assumptions. Provide accessible alternatives and allow participants to pass. Check local community, language and dietary practices rather than assuming everyone follows the same customs.

Cultural context

Keep bingo separate from devotional worship and any formal community gathering agenda. All contributions are optional.
