How to play sensitive person bingo

Sensitive Person Bingo is designed to help highly sensitive individuals connect, validate their experiences, and enjoy meaningful interactions in a comfortable environment.

Here's how to play:

1. Distribute Cards:
   Give each participant a Sensitive Person Bingo card containing relatable experiences or traits commonly associated with highly sensitive people (HSPs).
2. Explain the Game:
   Inform participants they'll be marking squares based on experiences or characteristics that resonate personally.
3. Start Playing:
   The facilitator reads aloud statements or participants quietly reflect on each square individually. Players mark any squares they relate to.
4. Achieve Bingo:
   The first participant who completes a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row calls out “Bingo!” You can also play extended versions such as "cover-all" or "four corners."
5. Encourage Discussion:
   After each round, create space for gentle, supportive conversations. Participants may share insights or feelings about specific prompts they connected with.
6. Repeat Rounds (Optional):
   Play multiple rounds with new cards or shuffle prompts to keep the interaction engaging and reflective.
