Get to know fellow hobbyists by meeting people who enjoy trying new crafts, like gardening or have taught a hobby skill. Tick matching squares as you chat, with no pressure to share.

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 choose squares that suit the gathering. Consider a 3×3 board for small groups. On a 5×5 board, aim for a line of five rather than a full card.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and never pressure players to disclose private information. Avoid unsafe challenges or restricted areas, and offer seated alternatives so physical movement is never compulsory. Check that winning lines are achievable, the squares offer variety and everyone can take part accessibly.
