Activity Ideas

If holding a reminiscence session, here are some questions you could ask:

Did they have any help around the house?

Did they do chores as a child and if so, what?

What polish was used?

Did you have a front porch or doorstep to keep clean?

 

If using as a sensory session, leave items in the bag and see if they can guess what it is.

A good memory and tactile game is to let everyone see, touch, and smell each item before placing them on a tray

Take the tray away from sight and remove an item – do they know what is missing? Let them touch them again.   You can give clues!

Keep going until the tray is empty.
