Dementia Cafe ☕️ Guess The MUSICAL MOVIE



Here is another Dementia Cafe Quiz. This time, ask members if they can guess the name of the musical movies from the stills provided. If they get stuck, you could play a music clip to help with recall, or indeed just play the songs for enjoyment. There are 50 in all, so you might want to split the session?


Don't forget to discuss the movies/musicals as you go along. Which do members rate the best and the worst? Which have they seen in a stage show? What is their favourite song from each movie/musical? (NB. Several stage shows which have not yet made it to film are included.)


If members like or love a movie you touch on, you could link across to YouTube clips to play the full song/video.


Hope your members like this one. Please do let me know how you get on.





By the way, my work is voluntary and unpaid. If you like and use my CST session plans in your own practice, you might like to buy me a ☕️ cup of coffee at www.ko-fi.com/simondementia Donations help cover production costs and keep 'Simon's Dementia CST Activities Blog' a free and open access resource.
