Instructions
Phone number bingo
1. Everyone should sit in a circle.
2. Give everyone a pen, sheet of paper and a ruler. 2. 3. Everyone should turn the paper horizontal and divide it into 11 columns and three rows.
3. Everyone should write their phone number on the first row of the sheet, with each digit in a separate cell. - Then they should pass it to the person on their left.
4. Everyone should write their phone number on the second row of their new sheet, then pass it to the person on their left.
5. Everyone should write their phone number on the bottom row of the sheet. This is now their bingo grid.
6. Everyone should pass their sheet once more to the person on the left. This is now that person's bingo card.
7. The person leading the game should call out a number between zero and nine at random.
**An online number generator could choose the numbers for you.**
8. Everyone can cross out that number in one square of their grid. They should choose tactically, as they need to cross out a whole row to win.
9. The person leading the game should keep calling numbers, and players should keep crossing one square out, until someone has crossed out a whole row. They’re the winner!
** Most phone numbers will have the same digit more than once, so you’ll probably need to repeat some numbers.**
10. The person leading the game should collect in all of the sheets, and make sure they’re disposed of properly (for example, by shredding) because they have personal information on.
Home address lingo
1. Everyone should think about why it’s important to know your own address. The person leading the activity could help with suggestions, for example, to tell someone where you live if you have to call 999 in an emergency, or to find your way home if you get lost.
2. Everyone should write their address on an envelope. The person leading the game should keep the list, in case anyone needs some help remembering the tricky bits like their postcode.
4. Everyone should draw a picture (or write a note) explaining what they’ve learned in all the activities about personal safety. Once they’ve finished, they should put their paper into their envelope (with their address on).
5. The person leading the game should make sure everyone’s letters get posted to their home.
** It’s up to you how you do this – you might want to post them yourself after the meeting, or everyone could go together to the post box.**
6. The person leading the game should collect in all of the sheets, and make sure they’re disposed of properly (for example, by shredding) because they have personal information on.
