Bring grandparents and grandchildren together to share a childhood game, recommend a book or suggest a drawing activity. Tick off shared moments, with space for everyone to join in or pass.

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 sharing personal information. Check the group size and participants’ interests, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a 5×5 board, a line of five is more achievable than a full card; use a line of three for a 3×3 board. Keep all participation voluntary.

Safety and inclusion

Use adult supervision and age-appropriate, inclusive language, without pressuring anyone to share private information. Do not ask children for personal details or require identifiable child data or photographs. Offer inclusive alternatives, and do not assume grandparents share the same abilities, memories, work histories or access to devices.
