How to run this activity
Offer this optional bingo only during a social activity approved by the event organiser, never during sacred ceremonies, prayer, meditation, fasting moments or active religious service. Check whether each suggested cue fits this actual gathering; allow alternatives and opt-outs without explanation.
Facilitator guidance
Confirm the programme, boundaries between sacred and social activities, and dietary and accessibility requirements with the organiser. Check all 24 cues against the actual gathering, offering alternatives for any that do not fit. Choose one-line wins or smaller boards where helpful, and let participants opt out without explanation.
Safety and inclusion
Keep this an optional, organiser-approved social activity; never score prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photos or disclosure of religious practice or fasting, and avoid culturally stereotyped assumptions. Provide accessible alternatives and allow participants to pass. Check local denominational, language and dietary practices with the organiser.
Cultural context
Diwali has different meanings in Hindu, Jain, Sikh and other traditions. Let the game reflect the host family's celebration rather than assuming one uniform practice.
