Dementia Cafe ☕️ Best Ever Children's TV & Movie Songs



The idea of this Dementia Cafe Quiz is to ask members to look at screenshot print offs of the children's TV and movie stills and then match the music from the Spotify playlist to the pictures. It's a form of 'Name That Tune', but using visual and music memory more prominently. Remember to take time to discuss favourite movies and programmes, what feelings they evoke, what they were about and so on.


See how you get on. I'd love to have some feedback on this one.
