Spot winter social moments as guests recommend cosy films, share favourite hot drinks or admire handmade decorations. Tick them off as they happen while enjoying the gathering.

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 cues and how often they are likely to occur against your gathering’s programme or playlist, taking group size into account. Aim for one line of five rather than a full card, and make sure winning lines are realistically achievable with varied, accessible cues. Replace unrealistic cues and offer alternative squares.

Safety and inclusion

Use inclusive language and do not pressure anyone to disclose private information. Let players opt out or choose alternative squares, and check that everyone can take part comfortably.
