Intro
If a picture can ‘paint a thousand words’, it can definitely inspire a good natter. When you think about it, it’s a miracle that art galleries aren’t much noisier places!
This activity is all about using pictures to prompt conversation. Even if a person struggles with chatting, they’ll hopefully still enjoy looking at the images and listening to you talk about them.
Magazines and books are a great source of images, as is the internet, so you can print and prepare a small folder to always be on-hand. A little advance research will help ensure the images are relevant, interesting and hopefully evoke fond memories.
This simple 1-to-1 activity is great for when you have a spare 10 or 20 minutes over a cup of tea or coffee
