- Our Reminiscence Box – Men’s Night on the Town will bring back memories of looking ‘dapper’ for a night out at the local ‘hop’
- It makes a unique group reminiscence activity to encourage conversation and memories
- Packed full of the essentials that any discerning gentleman would have used to prepare for a night out.
- Items are made from various materials including metal, silky fabric, and wood to enable a unique tactile experience, especially for anyone with dementia.
- Can be used as a ‘Rummage Box’ for anyone that likes to fold and tidy items
- Makes a nice display piece for a Mens Corner.
- Ask what type of hairstyle did each person have? Who cut their hair? Did they allow it to grow longer in the 1960s? Did anyone ever sport a ‘Teddy Boy’ style?
- Display shoe-related items – pass around any that are particularly tactile like a shoe brush. Did they take care of their shoes? What were they like on the dance floor? Did anyone have lessons? If so, who with and what did they learn?
- Plan a casino evening with the residents. Make a ‘bar’ serving beer (including non-alcaholic type and soft drinks). Try to enlist someone to do a ‘stand-up’ spot for 30 minutes or so (local amateur groups are often happy to oblige). Set up some retro games tables too and have fun.
