Intention: Forge a connection, invoke nostalgia, stimulate the senses.
We arrive with a basket and initiate a role-playing game of going to the market.
The first step is to establish a connection; employing the basket piques interest and links to the topic.
We invite the older people to participate in the play, simulating a trip to the market to buy vegetables.
The market theme and role-play activity rekindle memories, emotions, and provide a sense of familiarity and competence.
Throughout the play, participants can assume various roles, such as selling or buying.
For sensory stimulation, real vegetables can be used. Be mindful of their reactions to actual vegetables, as some may not immediately recognise them.
