Dementia Cafe Quiz ☕️ Just The Job



The idea of this Dementia Cafe quiz is to ask members to name the jobs portrayed by the people in the images. Along the way, they could also guess at the name of the character and TV show or movie. (There are 52, so you might want to split the session in two?)


There is a Spotify playlist of associated songs below to use as prompts, or at least to make the session more interactive.


Don't forget to take time to discuss the jobs and maybe ask members to say which job they would have loved to have done. You could also run a vote for the best and worst jobs. And make a list of missing jobs, perhaps?






The next part of the quiz is to match the song which is connected in some way (sometimes loosely) with the picture ...
