One of our residents today approached us and suggested an activity that involved bringing something from their younger years and talking about it. From how she described it, I suppose the child equivilent would be show and tell at school.
So as not to demean the residents by labelling it as that, I am looking at suggestions on how to "market" this day, and the best way to go about it. Any and all suggestions would be great!
Hi, Deborah - This is certainly a great activity in my experience. Here are two titles you may consider: Yesteryear Reflections - Recollections Flashback. Good luck!
Hi Deborah, Great idea,- Maybe :Show and tell from yesteryear", or "childhood memories". We have a show and tell at the beginning of every Day Care session, and the clients bring all sorts of things in and a great story goes with it. Cheers Sandy

I love this activity idea! Such a fun way to reminisce and get to know a wonderful piece of everyone's past. All these activity name suggestions are great I was also thinking A Trip Down Memory Lane or A Piece of Treasured Past.
I absolutely love this website. I check my emails everyday hoping for a newsletter. The information and activities are the best, I use them all the time :)
