How to run this activity

Facilitator guidance

Give a brief example, encourage introductions and let players 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, aim for a line of five rather than a full card. Check that winning lines are achievable and that the squares offer varied, accessible conversation starters suited to your group.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and keep participation voluntary, without pressuring anyone to disclose private information. Avoid unsafe challenges, restricted areas or compulsory physical movement, and offer seated alternatives.
