A picture is worth a thousand memories when you look at it with an older adult. A single photograph of Main Street fifty years ago can prompt an entire afternoon of memories. Hand-held photographs and pictures are great for individuals and small groups. But for larger groups, use slides. See the introductory page for Slideas.
Music is the universal language.
Without saying a word, it can remind us of the occasions of our lives - the events, the celebrations, the transitions. We include scented stickers in several of our kits. People scratch, sniff, and remember. Food provides some of the programming opportunities that are the most fun - and the most involving. Our program manuals suggest things to taste to remember the kit topic.
