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 party plans, group size and any playlist, as not every cue will occur. Replace unrealistic cues and offer substitutes suited to your guests. Aim for one line of five rather than a full card, checking that winning lines are achievable and the cues are varied and accessible.

Safety and inclusion

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