A great comment Owen and well done....bravo!! Once scouting and guiding are in your blood it never goes. The residents would remember being a part of likewise organisations too...eg Red Cross Brigade etc and these too have great ideas..give it a go everyone you and the residents will enjoy

Owen ha ha that would be funny, I always incorporate Guide songs just can't help myself.

Hi Teri that is where I got my idea from as they were expensive and i thought it would be easy to write one on my town and they just kept coming...am about to do some more....

I have used a Christmas wreath and made handmade poppies to go on it and we have used them for years, I have also added at times small red Christmas lights to the centre of the poppies.

I have just copied and pasted the songs from google so have no idea if they are copyright issues, I have only printed them for my facility, my apologies if any issues occur.

The answers are there on page 178 and no there are hard copy not powerpoint, the jingle questions are on powerpoint. You can search for the actual jingles on you tube.

Hi Jane I would love the Austrian song. Thanks

Hi Solange, yes I did have the Sukiyaki song too but would need someone to translate it, thanks for the other suggestions everyone

When I do reminiscing I try to have visual and tactile objects...eg women's reminiscing I use two old style beauty cases and have things in them like a corset with stockings, petticoat, jewellery, cosmetic mirror, dressing table set...hairbrush etc, lipstick, evening bag, hair net, curlers (the metal ones), scarf etc. This always brings about many memories and discussion - especially when I bring the corset out!!
