Hi Helen and Dawn,

Thanks for your feedback! We've updated this activity to make it more interactive. The slideshow now displays the date and image first, giving residents a chance to guess, reminisce and discuss before the historical fact is revealed.

We hope you enjoy the updated version!

I like this activity, but wish there was a way to show the photo first before the fact - that way I can prompt and get them to give their ideas on subjects, recognise faces or ask if they have been to this place etc - so get the discussion going before the fact is shown?

Help! How do you play this? There are no questions, just answers with photos. Why are there numbers over the photos? What are people guessing at with the numbers? How are the trivia cards used? I'm totally missing the point, but if I could figure it out, I would like to use it.

They are just facts. I use it as a slideshow

I am going to use this soon and after taking a look at it , I thought that maybe I would bring up a parallel group of videos to add to this slide show. For instance, I will probably run a short video showing more of Monet's artwork and a music video of Tina Turner's "What's love got to do with it?" and maybe some movie trailers for Rock Hudson and Vivien Leigh's movies or short biographies for Marie Curie and Thomas Edison. I'm going to make it a one hour November history program. I appreciate the program and I think it was well done but I am adding to it to make it my own! Just a thought... :)
