Questions people ask

What are good trivia questions for seniors?
Questions about films, TV, music and events they lived through: Dorothy's dog Toto, I Love Lucy, Elvis, The Beatles on Ed Sullivan, and the Moon landing. Familiar answers spark stories.
How do you run trivia in a nursing home?
Use a big screen, read questions aloud slowly, allow calling out as well as voting, and pause after each answer for a story. Teams by table work well.
What are good would you rather questions for seniors?
Gentle, nostalgic choices: a dance hall or a drive-in, the radio or the TV, the seaside or the mountains. Follow up by asking why.
