Spot conference moments as speakers explain acronyms, share case studies and handle disagreements constructively. Tick them off as they happen without interrupting sessions.
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, including how often cues are likely to occur. Use one-line wins rather than full-card completion, and make sure a line of five is realistically achievable. Replace unrealistic cues and offer substitute squares.
Safety and inclusion
Use inclusive language and never pressure players to disclose private information. Offer opt-outs and alternative squares. Check that the game suits the group size and accessibility needs, with varied, achievable cues and winning lines.
