Here is a short picture quiz for a CST activity to celebrate 'National Sideburns Day', which is held on 11th August.
This theme seems especially relevant, as Barber Shops have only just re-opened after lockdown and members will have been left without a haircut or beard trim for several months.
It's a straightforward facial recognition picture quiz, with a few interesting facts thrown in. Embellish it as you see fit, with music and film clips and discussion about each individual.
Have conversations focused on preferred hairstyles and whether sideburns are liked or disliked. Have the gents always shaved, or has anyone ever sported sideburns or a beard? How about favourite aftershaves? Have a few old fashioned ones on hand to add another dimension to the CST activity.
A shared album is included here, if you should wish to print off pictures for the tables, or enlarge them individually - https://photos.app.goo.gl/Pk3cSJDnQ1TbcSnj6
