This is a straightforward reminiscence activity, based on old fashioned cakes.


Ask members to look at the pictures and name the cakes. As you work through them discuss:



- Which are members' favourites?


- Which are associated with special dates or occasions?


- Which are associated with particular countries or places?


- Who likes or liked to bake a cake?


- Discuss ingredients and tastes




To make the session more engaging and multi-sensory, play the songs below while members guess at the answers and have some of the cakes on hand for a tasting session.



Feedback as to how this works in practice would be lovely.


Also let me know about any obvious cakes and songs missed 😃
