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

Give a brief example, encourage introductions and let players pass without making personal disclosures. Check the group size and participants’ interests, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a 5×5 board, aim for a line of five rather than a full card. Keep all participation voluntary.

Safety and inclusion

Use adult supervision and age-appropriate language, and never ask children to disclose personal details or provide identifiable data or photographs. Offer inclusive alternatives and avoid pressuring anyone to share private information or recall sensitive history. Welcome blended, foster, adoptive and chosen families.
