This music activity bundle pairs a structured session program with a 200-song CD collection
The Musical Armchair Travels program gives lifestyle coordinators and carers step-by-step guidance for running music-based group sessions, while the Green Book CD Collection supplies the music itself. The green music book format of the program covers movement, conversation and shared listening, so sessions have a clear shape without requiring staff to plan from scratch.
What’s included
The bundle contains two separate resources that work together as a complete session toolkit:
- Musical Armchair Travels: a structured activity program with session guidance covering music, movement and conversation
- Green Book CD Collection: a professionally recorded 10-disc set featuring 200 popular songs from the 1950s, 60s and 70s
How to use this resource
Use the Musical Armchair Travels program to plan and run each session, then draw on the CD collection to provide the music. The familiar songs support recognition and conversation, and the program structure helps less experienced staff or volunteers deliver sessions with confidence. Suitable for group sessions or one-to-one use in residential aged care and day programs.
- Structured music sessions: Follow the Musical Armchair Travels program guide to run a complete session, using the CD collection as the music source for each activity segment.
- Sing-along groups: Play tracks from the 10-disc set and invite residents to sing along, using the decade-based song selection to prompt shared memories.
- Reminiscence conversations: Use familiar songs from the 1950s, 60s and 70s as conversation starters, asking residents where they were when a song was popular or what it reminds them of.
- Seated movement activities: Pair upbeat tracks from the CD collection with the gentle movement components in the Musical Armchair Travels program for a low-impact physical activity segment.
- Musical quizzes: Play short excerpts from the CDs and ask residents to name the song or artist, suitable for small groups or one-to-one sessions.
