Reminiscence Box 5 – Getting Ready to Dance
£61.43 (£73.72 inc. VAT)
This stylish collection of ladies memorabilia is great to trigger happy memories of getting ready to go dancing.
- Ideal for a group reminiscence activity in a care home or day centre, and a fun way to encourage conversation about ‘getting dolled up’ and to attend the local ‘hop’.
- Kit will include up to 12 nostalgic-themed items.
- Why not add items to the set to create different eras?
- Items are made from a variety of materials to enable a unique tactile experience and are housed in a keepsake container for storage.
- Can be used as a ‘Rummage Box’ or as part of a display.
(Please note contents may vary).
- Display the rollers and other hairstyle-related items on a table. Discuss what was the most popular hairstyle of people’s day. Did they do their own hair? Did anyone have a perm? Did anyone manage to do a beehive?

- Ask a member of staff to paint participants’ nails. Have a number of different shades to choose from. Ask if anyone ever had a beauty treatment at a salon. What did they have done? Was it for a special occasion? Have a game to see how many make-up brands they can name (Rimmel, Max Factor, No 7, Boots 17, Estee Lauder, Maybelline, Avon, Revlon).
- Plan a dance party ‘Hop’ in your care home. Ask a local dance school if they would be willing to come and put on a dance display of jive/rock and roll.
