The idea of this picture quiz is to print the photos off from the photo album - link here https://photos.app.goo.gl/1SP7LdsnNP2Cq6Uy9 - then fold them in half and put them on the tables, asking members to identify and name each person. When they have guessed, then unfold the photo to show their other (usually) younger image.
To extend the quiz, ask members to guess at each person's current age and answer some of the questions provided below. Also, you could link to songs for a singalong at various points throughout the activity to make it more multi-sensory.
To help when members get stuck, give first names and first words, or initials, of songs.
