Spot moments on a family holiday, from someone finding the route on a map to trying a local speciality or suggesting a rainy-day plan. Tick off safe, observable moments as you go.

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 and how often they are likely to occur against your actual holiday plans or any media you use. Aim for a one-line win rather than a full card, making 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, inclusive alternatives. Use inclusive language and do not pressure anyone to share private information or ask children for personal details. Keep participation private by default; identifiable child data and photographs are not needed, and photos must never be compulsory.
