💡 "I remember that!" - Out & About



This is a reminiscence based activity. Look at the photos and discuss them together, using the questions as prompts.


If you wish, you could print them off as cards and laminate them, with the questions on the reverse and play it like a card game.


Alternatively, if you click on the first photo a slide show will open.


Bear in mind that some members' home lives may not have been as happy as others. Adjust the content and questions based on the biographical assessments undertaken before CST work is undertaken.


I hope you enjoy this one. Some feedback would be great.
