Spot bright spring outfits, hear a favourite Holi memory and notice festive treats in this optional social bingo, played during the gathering’s social time, away from sacred ceremonies.
How to run this activity
Offer this optional bingo only during a social activity approved by the event organiser, never during sacred ceremonies, prayer, meditation, fasting moments or active religious service. Check whether each suggested cue fits this actual gathering; allow alternatives and opt-outs without explanation.
Facilitator guidance
Confirm the programme, sacred and social boundaries, dietary needs and accessibility requirements with the organiser. Check all 24 cues against the actual gathering and offer suitable alternatives. Choose one-line wins or smaller boards where helpful, and let anyone opt out without explanation.
Safety and inclusion
Keep this optional, organiser-approved activity separate from prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning, service duties and assessments of personal piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photographs or disclosure of religious beliefs or fasting practices, and avoid cultural stereotypes. Provide accessible alternatives, allow participants to pass, and check local religious, language and dietary practices.
Cultural context
Holi celebrations vary between communities. Any separately arranged colour play must be optional and consent-based; consider respiratory, eye and skin sensitivities, and offer alternatives without powder or colour play.
