Community Clean-Up Day Bingo

How to run this activity

Facilitator guidance

Check the board against your clean-up programme and group size, including whether each cue can occur and how often it is likely to happen. Aim for one line of five rather than a full card, making sure a line is realistically achievable. Replace unrealistic cues with suitable alternatives and let players opt out or use alternative squares.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure anyone to disclose private information. Do not turn litter collection into a race or touch sharps, unknown substances or unsafe waste.
