Spot festive jumpers, listen for a favourite Christmas film being mentioned and watch for a board game coming out. This family party bingo follows the moments that happen naturally at your gathering.
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 gathering’s plans and any playlist or media, as not every moment will occur. Aim for one line of five rather than a full card, and check that cues occur often enough for a winning line to be achievable. Replace unrealistic cues with suitable alternatives.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and do not pressure anyone to share private information. Let players opt out or choose alternative squares. Check that the cues suit the group size, offer variety and are accessible to everyone taking part.
