Cocktail Party Bingo

How to run this activity

Facilitator guidance

Give a brief example, encourage introductions and let players pass without sharing personal details. Check the group size and interests, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. Aim for a line rather than a full card: five squares on a 5×5 board, or three on a 3×3 board.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language, keep participation voluntary and offer alternative squares without asking for private information. Check that the prompts suit the actual gathering and group size, that winning lines are achievable, and that there is enough variety. Make sure everyone can take part accessibly.
