Front Porches and Sunday Drives Conversation Starters
Open questions in large print to get people talking and remembering. There are no wrong answers.
Free to print for your residents. Answer key included where one applies. Allow 20 to 30 minutes.
How to run it
- Share a memory of your own first.
- Give plenty of time. Silence is fine.
- Bring a prop: a photo, an object, a familiar smell.
- Write down a favourite story to share with family.
Adapting it for memory care
- Use the memory-care version with four prompts.
- Offer two choices instead of an open question: "Did you walk to school or take a bus?"
