WISDOM ACROSS THE AGES

 

HOW TO USE

 

·        Keep the open booklet on a table to use when family or friends visit .

·        Have a grandchild begin to use the questions to gather some memories of a grandparent.

·        Use as a conversation starter tool for volunteers who are making visits to long term care facilities or someone who is homebound.

·        Use as part of an intergenerational program – post the responses to a particular question of several of the residents and guess who that the person might be. Consider recording the responses and passing them along to family members.

·        Post them by the door or elevator in your facility so visitors have some conversation starter ideas for their visit.

·        Use them as conversation starters in a facility while you are waiting for the meal to be served. Highlight a staff member and resident of the day and have them share their answers with the group. Share answers during the meal or have a gathering after it is over for those who would like to tell some of their stories.

 

Great gift idea for a reunion, birthday, long car trip or new resident of your facility.
