The Reminiscence Activity Manual – the More I Remember is a session-ready resource for activity coordinators and carers running reminiscence programs in aged care. It supports structured individual or group sessions built around familiar topics and personal recall.
How it can be used
Start with topics that feel familiar and comfortable for participants. Adjust the pace to suit the group and allow time for responses in participants’ own words. Repeat favourite topics across sessions to build continuity and confidence. This manual works alongside other reminiscence books as part of a broader program or as a standalone session guide.
Key details at a glance:
- 30 separate topics to choose from

- Suitable for individual or small group settings

- Topic-led recall: Select one topic per session and invite participants to share memories connected to it. Keep the session to a single topic to maintain focus.
- Interest matching: Review the 30 topics before the session and choose one that aligns with the known interests or background of the individual or group.
