Spot the friendly moments at family game night, from a child teaching an adult a rule to a surprise comeback or a funny guessing-game answer. Tick them off as you play together.

How to run this activity

Adult-led, age-appropriate bingo. Let each child opt out, listen or point instead of speaking; never ask for full names, addresses, identity, photographs, contact details or family information. Tick a square after a safe, observable moment; provide accessible seated play.

Facilitator guidance

Check the cues against your planned games or any media you use, including how often each moment is likely to occur. Aim for a single line rather than a full card, and make sure five in a row is realistically achievable. Replace unrealistic cues and offer suitable substitutes.

Safety and inclusion

Keep play adult-led, supervised and age-appropriate, with accessible alternatives for different needs. Use inclusive language and never pressure anyone to share private information, including children's personal details. Keep participation private by default; no identifiable child data or photographs are needed.
