How to run this activity

Choose a suitable event, film or licensed music playlist in advance; tick only cues actually observed or heard. Do not use copyrighted film stills, lyrics, artwork or branded franchise logos as official RoomZing template content. Provide accessible alternatives to sound-only cues.

Facilitator guidance

Preview your chosen film or programme and check how often the board’s cues appear, as some may not occur. Aim for a single line of five rather than a full card, and make sure that win is realistically achievable. Replace unrealistic cues and offer suitable substitutes.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure players to disclose private information. Use original prompts and visuals, and check that your chosen media is suitable and licensed for your intended use. Do not include franchise logos, protected artwork, film stills or reproduced lyrics in template content.
