Christmas Movie Bingo

How to run this activity

Facilitator guidance

Check the cues and how often they occur against your chosen film, replacing unrealistic ones and offering substitutes where needed. Aim for a one-line win rather than full-card completion, and make sure five in a row is realistically achievable.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Use original prompts and visuals, and check that the film's content is suitable for your group and that you have permission or any necessary licence to show it. Do not use franchise logos, protected artwork, film stills or reproduced lyrics in game materials.
