Reminiscence Box© 8 - At the Beach

Activity Ideas

• Give everyone a large bowl of sand for them to wiggle their toes in.
• Have a singalong session of beach-themed favourites such as: 'Oh I Do Like To Be Beside The Seaside' and 'W?e're All Going On A Summer Holiday'.
• Include some sand play with our easy kit. The tactile feel can often help to trigger other memories of fun games. Ask what they used to play? Did anyone go rockpooling? Which beaches did they visit?

You can almost smell the salty air with our nostalgic seaside-themed Reminiscence Box - At the Beach.

Packed with fun, tactile items to hold, remember and discuss - bring back fond memories of holidays and picnics on the beach.
