Spot everyday teamwork during a food bank shift, from checking stock dates and sorting donations to setting damaged packaging aside. Tick off moments without interrupting the work.
How to run this activity
Watch or take part in the activity and tick a square only when its moment actually occurs. The first line of five wins; use the free centre. Do not stage unsafe actions or interrupt the event to complete a square.
Facilitator guidance
Check the board against the planned shift and group size, as not every cue will occur. Replace unrealistic or infrequent cues with suitable alternatives so a line of five is achievable. Aim for one-line wins rather than full-card completion.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and never pressure anyone to disclose private information. Offer opt-outs and alternative squares. Never make service recipients, their eligibility, needs or vulnerabilities into bingo targets.
