Professional Association Meetup Bingo

How to run this activity

Facilitator guidance

Give a brief example, encourage introductions and keep participation voluntary, with the option to pass without sharing personal details. Check the group size and participants’ interests, and consider a 3×3 board for smaller groups. On a 5×5 board, suggest a line of five rather than a full card. Check that the cues fit the actual meetup and that winning lines are achievable, varied and accessible.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and never pressure anyone to disclose private information. Offer opt-outs and alternative squares so everyone can choose how to take part.
