Get chatting at your gardening club by meeting people who grow herbs, save seeds or garden on a balcony. Tick matching squares as you discover shared interests and different gardening experiences.
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, encourage introductions and make participation voluntary, with the option to pass without sharing personal details. Check the group size and interests, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a five-square-wide board, aim for a line of five rather than a full card. Choose varied, accessible squares that suit your gathering and make winning lines achievable.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and never pressure players to disclose private information. Avoid unsafe challenges and restricted areas, and do not require anyone to move around; offer a seated way to take part.
