Coffee Morning Social 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 participants’ interests, and offer alternative squares that suit those attending. Aim for a line of five rather than a full card; for small groups, consider a 3×3 board with a line of three.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language, keep participation voluntary and never pressure anyone to disclose private information. Check that the squares are achievable for your group, winning lines offer varied conversation topics and everyone can take part accessibly.
