Material

Paper with bingo cards, pens, clipboards (optional)

Instructions

Artefacts are one of the ways culture is shared. We find them scattered all around us, the city is full of them! Think about buildings, spaces, statues, symbols, flags, museums, food, etc.

During this activity teams are challenged to play bingo with the city as their playground. Each bingo card has a list of cultural expressions. Teams go on a cultural hunt for artefacts and capture them through photo safari. The fruits of the hunt are collectively shared and discussed.

Variant

You can vary with the amount of cultural expressions on the bingo card. Extra tasks or missions can be added tot he activity (e.g. take a photo with someone on a bike, take a photo and bring a folder from the museum, etc.).
