Break the ice with fellow cruise passengers by meeting people who have cruised before, enjoy live music or have found a quiet reading spot. Tick matching squares as you chat.
How to run this activity
Meet people at the gathering and tick a square when a willing participant matches its description. Different squares can involve different people. Do not ask anyone to share private details or disclose beliefs.
Facilitator guidance
Give a brief example, encourage introductions and make participation voluntary, with the option to pass without sharing personal details. Check group size and interests, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a 5×5 board, suggest a line of five rather than a full card; adjust the winning line to suit smaller boards. Check that the squares reflect activities and facilities on your ship, with varied, accessible routes to a win.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and never pressure anyone to disclose private information. Avoid unsafe challenges, restricted areas and compulsory movement, and offer seated alternatives.
