Get to know fellow charity volunteers through conversations about sharing useful skills, learning new processes and helping teammates. Tick squares when willing participants match the descriptions.
How to run this activity
Meet people at the gathering and tick a square when a willing participant matches its description. Different squares can involve different people. Do not ask anyone to share private details or disclose beliefs.
Facilitator guidance
Give a brief example, encourage introductions and make participation voluntary, with the option to pass without sharing personal details. Check group size and interests, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a 5×5 board, suggest a line of five rather than a full-card challenge. Check that cues fit the gathering and offer alternative squares where needed.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and never pressure anyone to disclose private information. Check that winning lines are achievable, cues are varied and the activity is accessible to everyone taking part.
