Current playbook index title and category plus an internally authored detailed-guide draft
Initiative-specific development wave
How this draft was developed
These sources support general principles for Rotary belonging, accessible participation and voluntary consent; they are not an endorsement of the named Connection Bingo Game initiative or this locally designed delivery model.
Primary references consulted
Enhancing Belonging and Engagement at Rotary(Rotary International) Used for: Rotary seeks environments where people are valued, respected and able to contribute.; A connection activity should reduce barriers and avoid pressuring people to disclose personal information.
Hosting Accessible and Inclusive In-person Meetings and Events(Australian Human Rights Commission) Used for: Accessible participation requires attention to venue layout, communication, materials, activities and adjustments.; Equivalent seated, printed, spoken and digital routes support more equal participation.
Chapter B: Key Concepts(Office of the Australian Information Commissioner) Used for: Valid consent should be informed, voluntary, current and specific.; Joining a social game does not create consent for the club to record or publish personal answers.
Candidate District material consulted
These records remain draft evidence and still need a human source decision.
Club Playbook - Theme 2 Candidate record 45 Connection Bingo Game is a literal title match and contributes the broad conversation-card and find-someone-who concept. It does not supply sensitive-topic exclusions, accessible routes, no-name data controls, no-winner hosting, prompt testing or governance controls.

See each source's scope and limit
Enhancing Belonging and Engagement at Rotary Supports: Belonging, accessibility, respectful participation and equitable access principles for renewal and club experience. Does not establish: That a particular meeting model, membership pathway, leadership process or club culture is inclusive without testing with affected people.
Hosting accessible and inclusive in-person meetings and events Supports: The 71 attributed Theme 2 claims attached to this source, limited to the implementation elements and supporting documents named in each initiative-level claim mapping. Does not establish: Accessibility or inclusion conformance, the needs or preferences of any person or community, cultural authority to act, the suitability of a format or venue, or local approval.
Australian Privacy Principles Guidelines: Chapter B, Key Concepts Supports: The 8 attributed Theme 2 claims attached to this source, limited to the implementation elements and supporting documents named in each initiative-level claim mapping. Does not establish: Whether the Privacy Act or another duty applies to this club, whether consent is informed and valid, whether collection or publication is authorised, or whether the proposed safeguards are sufficient in the actual circumstances.
What still needs a person to confirm
Confirm the member, prospective-member, past-member and community needs, preferences and consent that the local design assumes.
Confirm which privacy, safeguarding, incorporated-association, charity, work health and safety, food, liquor, copyright, licensing, screening and other duties apply to the club and the activity.
Test accessibility, cultural safety, belonging, language and alternative participation routes with affected people and recognise First Nations cultural authority rather than inferring suitability from the guide.
Confirm every local fact, starting point, cost, role, current service contact, measure, stopping condition and platform capability before the club decides to proceed.
Confirm the authority and current scope of each primary source, resolve login-gated or moved-page references and keep any candidate District material attributed and unapproved until its source decision is made.
The source-verification release gate remains closed.
Checks still on hold
The club sponsor must approve the prompt set, prohibited topics, access formats, host briefing and no-data position before use.
Participation, answering and completion must be voluntary and may not influence member standing, recognition or future opportunity.
The club must not collect names, answers, photographs of cards or inferred personal profiles from the activity.
Any prompt that produces distress, discrimination, unwanted disclosure or repeated misunderstanding must be removed rather than defended as harmless fun.
Still an internal draft: source interpretation, local suitability, accessibility, governance and editorial approval remain open checks.
What could this idea change?
It helps more people feel known, valued and able to take part in ways that work for them.
It may suit: Members at the relevant stage of their club experience, including people who may not yet feel fully connected.
Could this work in our club?
Consider Connection Bingo Game when members attend club activity but have few chances to know one another well.
A club social or meeting with enough time for unhurried two-way conversations and a host who can explain boundaries.
Members who can choose a printed, large-print, verbal, seated, paired or no-card route without being singled out.
A prompt set based on low-stakes Rotary interests and experiences rather than health, family, identity, finances, politics or personal history.
Before you start
A reviewed prompt bank with safe examples, prohibited topics, a pass symbol and alternatives that do not require movement, reading small print or revealing private facts.
A host briefing explaining consent, respectful endings, no proof, no writing other people's names or details and no public comparison of completed cards.
Accessible cards and participation routes, including large print, high contrast, screen-reader text, spoken prompts, seated pairing and ordinary conversation without a card.
A finish and feedback plan that celebrates conversations rather than completion and destroys marked cards unless a participant chooses to keep their own.
At the end: At the 90-day review, compare the recorded measures with the starting point, resolve the listed governance holds and tell participants whether Connection Bingo Game will change, continue or stop.
