Spot colourful costumes, notice guests exchanging family recipes and hear thanks for the organisers in this optional Purim party bingo, played during a suitable social break.

How to run this activity

Only offer this game during a host-approved social period when marking a bingo card is permitted. In communities observing Shabbat or Yom Tov restrictions, do not use a phone, writing or a printed tick-off card; schedule play for an appropriate later occasion. Do not mark prayers, blessings or religious observance. Participation is optional.

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. Choose one-line wins or smaller boards where needed.

Safety and inclusion

Offer this optional activity only during an organiser-approved social period; never score prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning performance, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photographs or disclosure of religious practice or fasting, and avoid culturally stereotyped assumptions. Provide accessible alternatives, allow participants to pass and check local denominational, language and dietary practices. Where Shabbat or festival observance prohibits writing or electronics, printed tick-off cards are not a workaround; schedule play for another suitable occasion.

Cultural context

Purim customs vary, and costumes and treats are optional; never pressure anyone to dress up. Keep the game separate from Megillah reading and religious obligations.
