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 cues against your beach plans and local conditions, as not every moment will occur. Replace unrealistic or unlikely cues with suitable alternatives so that a line of five is realistically achievable. Aim for a one-line win rather than full-card completion.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Follow lifeguard guidance, water safety advice and sun protection measures; swimming must never be a bingo requirement. Avoid unsafe challenges and restricted zones, make physical movement optional and offer seated alternatives. Observe wildlife and tides from a safe distance, and never set dare-based swimming or rock-pool tasks.
