Get to know fellow guests at a Bahá'í community gathering through an optional social bingo: meet people who enjoy gardening, have volunteered recently or can suggest an accessible venue.
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, and dietary and accessibility requirements with the organiser. Check all 24 cues against the actual gathering with the organiser. Choose one-line wins or smaller boards where helpful, and offer alternative cues and opt-outs without requiring an explanation.
Safety and inclusion
Keep this an optional, organiser-approved social activity; never score worship, sacred rites, religious learning performance, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photos or disclosure about fasting, and avoid culturally stereotyped assumptions. Provide accessible alternatives, allow participants to pass, and check local community, language and dietary practices rather than assuming them.
Cultural context
Bahá'í community activities may include devotions; keep bingo separate from prayer, readings and the Nineteen Day Feast. Do not ask participants to disclose their beliefs.
