This short Dementia Cafe quiz looks at celebrities real or birth names and preferred names. The idea in the first round is simply for members to look at the pictures, either via a slide show or print offs, and name the person. Each has a music clue to play as a memory prompt, i.e. a short clip of a song linked to them. The next round is more tricky. From a printed list of real names, ask members to match them up with the pictures, noting any surprises or anything else of interest.
See how you get on and please do let me know how this works in practice. Also additional suggestions could be included.
