Price Tag Time Machine: Christmas Through the Decades

Take your group back to Christmas, 1955 to 1975.

Price Tag Time Machine: Christmas Through the Decades is a large-print nostalgia trivia game for senior living, assisted living and memory care. Your group guesses what Christmas things cost in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s: toys under the tree, the tree itself, a stamp for the Christmas cards and December groceries. The guessing starts the conversation, and the stories are the best part.

MADE FOR EASY READING

• Large print on plain white pages
• One question block at a time, with three big A, B and C answer boxes
• "My guess" line on every question for open guessing
• Low-ink design

FOR YOUR GROUP ACTIVITY

• No prep: print, read the questions aloud, and let everyone pick A, B or C
• Classic mode: ask for guesses out loud first for a livelier game
• Works for groups, small tables and one-on-one visits
• Each round stands on its own, so you can play one round per visit
