How to run a session
Hand out bingo cards to each participant and call items one at a time using the included calling cards or large flash cards. Allow time between calls for participants to locate and mark each item. Adapt the pace to suit the group and encourage participants to call out when they complete a line or full card. The large A5 flash cards support participants who benefit from a visual prompt alongside the verbal call.
The bingo sheets printable PDF format means coordinators can reprint cards as needed for repeat sessions or larger groups. Each set includes:
- 36 colour bingo cards in A4 format
- 40 small calling cards for the caller
- 40 large A5 flash cards for visual display
- Picture-based format that supports participants who respond better to images than text
- Standard group bingo: Run a full session with prizes for the first completed line and the first full card. Keep a spare set of calling cards to verify wins quickly.
- Discussion rounds: Pause after each called item and invite participants to share a memory or preference related to that food. This extends session time and encourages conversation.
- Visual-only round: Use the large A5 flash cards without a verbal call to run a silent round, giving participants more time to scan their cards independently.
- Themed sessions: Match the food theme to a broader session topic such as seasonal eating, favourite recipes, or cultural foods to add context to the activity.
- Small group play: Split a larger group into smaller tables and run simultaneous games, with a coordinator or volunteer managing each table.
