How to run this activity
Facilitator-led icebreaker with no pressure to disclose nationality, family background, finances or support needs. Use an accessible alternative for any square that requires travel or spending.
Facilitator guidance
Review the 24 skills and discussion points and select exercises that genuinely cover them. Match selected squares to the actual session plan; never invent activities just to complete bingo. Offer alternatives for quieter learners without asking them to share personal stories. Check that winning lines are achievable, cues are varied and activities are accessible.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Keep sessions age-appropriate and adult-led where children take part; no identifiable child data or photos are needed. Provide inclusive alternatives so everyone can participate comfortably.
