Reminiscence

Putting together a box of prompts is an easy way to help residents start to think more creatively. These objects can then inspire musical activities.

Fill a box with objects that relate to different seasons of the year:

• A Christmas wreath
• A bottle of suntan lotion
• Some lamb’s wool
• A dry Autumn leaf

Ask someone in the group to choose an object and then encourage the group to share their memories of that object.

Find songs to represent each season and encourage your group to sing each song before moving on to the next object.
