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 actual programme or media, your group size and how often the cues are likely to occur. Replace unrealistic cues and offer substitutes so a line of five is realistically achievable. Aim for one-line wins rather than full-card completion, with varied cues and accessible ways to take part.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Let players opt out or choose alternative squares.
