How to run this activity
Use this optional bingo only during a specifically approved community social session, outside temple worship, food service, rituals and restricted spaces. Follow the host's local dress, interaction and accessibility guidance. Participants may pass without explanation.
Facilitator guidance
Confirm the programme, sacred and social boundaries, and dietary and accessibility requirements with the organiser. Check all 24 cues against the actual gathering with the organiser. Offer one-line wins or smaller boards where needed.
Safety and inclusion
Keep participation optional and host-approved; never score prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photos or disclosure of religious practice or fasting, and avoid cultural stereotypes. Provide accessible alternatives and let participants pass without explanation. Check local denominational, language and dietary practices rather than making assumptions.
Cultural context
Hindu temple customs around offerings, shoes and dress vary locally; follow the organiser's guidance. Use this game only during an approved social activity outside worship.
