This is a straightforward reminiscence activity, based on old fashioned cakes.
Ask members to look at the pictures and name the cakes. As you work through them discuss:
- Which are members' favourites?
- Which are associated with special dates or occasions?
- Which are associated with particular countries or places?
- Who likes or liked to bake a cake?
- Discuss ingredients and tastes
To make the session more engaging and multi-sensory, play the songs below while members guess at the answers and have some of the cakes on hand for a tasting session.
Feedback as to how this works in practice would be lovely.
Also let me know about any obvious cakes and songs missed 😃
