Local Community Festival Bingo

How to run this activity

Facilitator guidance

Check the board against the actual festival programme or any media you plan to use, including how often each cue is likely to occur. Replace unrealistic cues and offer substitutes for moments that are unlikely to happen. Aim for one line of five rather than a full card, making sure a winning line is realistically achievable.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and never pressure players to disclose private information. Let players opt out or choose alternative squares. Consider the group size and accessibility needs, and check that the available cues are varied and allow achievable winning lines.
