To get us in the mood for 'Valentine's Day', here is a Dementia Cafe Quiz called 'Star Crossed Lovers'.
The phrase 'Star Crossed Lovers', coined by William Shakespeare in 'Romeo And Juliet', refers to two people who are deelpy in love but for whatever reason cannot be together. This picture quiz includes some love affairs that, against all odds, did survive the test of time.
Hope you enjoy it. As usual, some video clips and songs are interspersed among the pictures. You can either 'screen save' and print off the grouped images, or if you click on the first image a slide show will open.
I always love having feedback, so do let me know if your members enjoy this CST activity.
