How to run this activity
The facilitator selects relevant examples and exercises. Tick a square when its idea is actually demonstrated, discussed or practised. Pause for brief, voluntary reflections; play for one line rather than trying to force every topic.
Facilitator guidance
Review the 24 discussion points on the 5×5 board and match selected squares to exercises in the actual workshop agenda. Never invent activities just to complete bingo; aim for one achievable line rather than covering every topic. Offer quieter learners alternative ways to participate without asking for personal stories.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and do not pressure participants to disclose private information. Offer opt-outs and alternative squares. Check that the activity suits the group size and accessibility needs, with varied cues that can genuinely occur and achievable winning lines.
