Spot a volunteer welcoming a newcomer, a festival craft being shared or an organiser thanking guests in this optional Mahavir Jayanti bingo, played only during a community social session.

How to run this activity

Use this optional bingo only during a specifically approved community social session, outside temple/gurdwara 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; do not score religious learning, service duties or individual piety. Avoid compulsory introductions, touching, photography, disclosure of religious practice or fasting, and culturally stereotyped assumptions. Provide accessible alternatives and allow anyone to pass without explanation. Check local denominational and language practices, and ask hosts about specific Jain ingredient, fasting and venue restrictions rather than assuming vegetarian options are sufficient.

Cultural context

Mahavir Jayanti celebrates Mahavira's birth. Keep bingo separate from worship, temple rituals and religious observances, and do not assume the gathering includes a meal.
