Reminiscence 🍪 "That takes the biscuit!"

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

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

- Which are members' favourites?

- Which are best for dunking?

- Can anyone remember any advertising slogans?

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

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

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