Get to know your friendship group by chatting with people who enjoy gaming nights, want a walking buddy or are looking for a book recommendation. Tick squares as you discover shared interests.

How to run this activity

Meet people at the gathering and tick a square when a willing participant matches its description. Different squares can involve different people. Do not ask anyone to share private details or disclose beliefs.

Facilitator guidance

Give a brief example and encourage introductions, while making participation voluntary and allowing players to pass without sharing personal details. Check the group size and participants’ interests, and make sure the squares suit the gathering. Aim for a line of five rather than a full card; for smaller groups, consider a 3×3 board with a line of three.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and never pressure anyone to disclose private information. Offer opt-outs and alternative squares. Check that the squares are achievable for the group, provide varied conversation starters and allow accessible ways to participate and complete a winning line.
