Spot social celebration moments, from a guest admiring the décor to a mentor being thanked or generations sharing a happy memory. Play only during an agreed social period, outside religious ceremonies.
How to run this activity
Only offer this game during a host-approved social period when marking a bingo card is permitted. In communities observing Shabbat or Yom Tov restrictions, do not use a phone, writing or a printed tick-off card; schedule play for an appropriate later occasion. Do not mark prayers, blessings or religious observance. Participation is optional.
Facilitator guidance
Confirm the programme, religious and social boundaries, and dietary and accessibility requirements with the organiser. Check all 24 cues against the actual gathering, using one-line wins or smaller boards where needed.
Safety and inclusion
Keep participation optional and limited to an agreed social period; never score prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning performance, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photographs or disclosure of religious practice or fasting, and avoid culturally stereotyped assumptions. Provide accessible alternatives, allow participants to pass, and check local denominational, language and dietary practices. If Shabbat or festival observance prohibits writing or electronics, printed tick-off cards are not a workaround; schedule play for another suitable occasion.
Cultural context
Do not embarrass the young person or pressure them to discuss their beliefs, religious practice or childhood. Respect their chosen terminology and family context.
