This is a straightforward reminiscence activity, based on old fashioned biscuits.
Ask members to look at the pictures and name the biscuits. As you work through them discuss:
- Which are members' favourites?
- Which are best for dunking?
- Can anyone remember any advertising slogans?
To make the session more engaging and multi-sensory, play the songs below while members guess at the answers and have some of the biscuits on hand for a tasting session.
Feedback as to how this works in practice would be lovely.
Also let me know about any obvious biscuits and songs missed 😃
