How to run this activity

Adult-led, age-appropriate bingo. Let each child opt out, listen or point instead of speaking; never ask for full names, addresses, identity, photographs, contact details or family information. Tick a square after a safe, observable moment; provide accessible seated play.

Facilitator guidance

Check the cues against your party programme or any media you plan to use, as not every moment will happen. Aim for a single-line win rather than a full card, and check that five in a row is realistically achievable. Replace unlikely cues and offer suitable substitutes.

Safety and inclusion

Keep play adult-led and use age-appropriate, inclusive language and accessible alternatives. Protect children's privacy: do not ask for personal details or identifiable child data, and never require photographs. Let children participate without pressure to speak or share information.
