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. Offer one-line wins or smaller boards where needed.
Safety and inclusion
Keep participation optional and host-approved; never score prayer, worship, sacred rites, religious learning performance, service duties or individual piety. Do not require introductions, touching, photos or disclosure of religious practice or fasting. Provide accessible alternatives and allow participants to pass on any square. Check local denominational, language and dietary practices rather than making stereotyped assumptions.
Cultural context
Schedule play outside synagogue services and at a time when local Shabbat or Yom Tov restrictions permit writing or devices, respecting personal practice. Printed tick-off cards are not a workaround where writing is prohibited; arrange another occasion instead.
