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

Choose a playlist you are entitled to play and ask players to identify the sounds described on their cards. Preview the genres and eras for regional accuracy, and check cue frequency against your chosen event or playlist. Make sure five in a row is realistically achievable and offer substitute cues where needed.

Safety and inclusion

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