Remember When? Price Memory Conversation Cards for Senior Living, Printable PDF

60 printable large print memory cards that ask what you paid and where you shopped. Prices were not the same everywhere, so your own price is always the right answer. No score, no timer, no teams. For activity directors, family caregivers and anyone who sits with seniors. US Letter and A4 included.

WHAT YOU GET

- 60 question cards in 6 themes, 10 cards per theme, two cards to a page (30 pages): Corner Grocery, Sunday Dinner, Treats and Sweets, Out and About, Pay Day and Work, Dime Store and Wardrobe

- 31 cards carry a simple black and white line drawing (a loaf of bread, a milk bottle, an ice cream cone, a bus and more) so a player can see what the question is about

- Every card has a question and a follow-up line that helps the player tell a story

- A 9-page Leader Guide: how to run a session in five steps, four ways to play (Pass the Card, Draw and Share, Pair Up, One to One), words to say and words to leave out, a Reference Sheet of U.S. average food prices, a page of notes and sources, a 30-minute plan with a session log, blank Make Your Own cards, and the Facility Use License

- Three PDFs for each paper size: Memory Cards, Leader Guide, and an All-In-One file (39 pages)

A PRICE SHEET WITH SOURCES

The leader's Reference Sheet lists 15 food items with national average retail prices for 1953 and 1968. The figures come from U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Bulletin 1183 (Table 8, 1953) and Bulletin 1632 (Table 6, 1968). An item that is not in a source table is marked "not listed". The prices are for the leader only and are never printed on a card, because local prices were often higher or lower than the national average. Prices for the 1970s are not included.

EASY READING

Plain black and white pages that use very little ink. Questions on the cards are 26 pt or larger and follow-up lines are 21 pt. The Leader Guide uses smaller text because it is for the leader.

HOW IT WORKS AT THE TABLE

Read a card out loud, listen, ask the follow-up line and pass the card on. Whatever the player paid, or remembers, is the right answer, and pass is always fine. Works with a whole room, one table, or one person in a one-to-one visit.
