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 your actual programme or playlist, as not every cue will occur. Consider group size, cue frequency, variety and accessibility so that a line of five is realistically achievable. Play for one line rather than a full card, and replace unrealistic cues with suitable alternatives.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure anyone to share private information. Let players opt out or choose alternative squares without explanation.
