Things You Don't See Anymore - Can you name these items from the past? Remember, Laugh, Connect

This is a tried-and-tested reminiscing therapy program that has been successfully used with senior groups. It is designed to encourage conversation, memory sharing, and social engagement among older adults.

Seniors of all cognitive levels can participate and enjoy reflecting on memories from the past. This activity is ideal for recreation therapy programs, senior centers, assisted living communities, nursing homes, and memory care settings.

This therapy program can be used to help achieve client goals in the cognitive and social domains of Recreation Therapy, making it a valuable resource for activity directors, recreation therapists, and caregivers.

The presentation is a downloadable PowerPoint game that is completely customizable and easy to facilitate. It is designed for groups of 5–15 participants and works best when displayed on a large screen such as a smartboard, TV, or projector.

Each slide shows an item from the past that you don't see in everyday life anymore. With a click of the mouse or screen, a text box appears with the name of the item and some discussion questions.
