How it can be used
Load the disc and let it run on a large screen for a relaxed lounge group session, or pause between questions to manage the pace in a structured quiz activity. No voiceover means the group leader reads each question aloud, which allows for repetition and discussion. A 20-second countdown clock follows each question before the answer appears on screen.
Each disc includes the following:
- Video clips including classic movies, old-time songs, and world events
- Audio clips such as mystery voices, musical groups, and TV theme songs
- Image-based questions covering sport, geography, history, and general knowledge
- True or false and multiple choice question formats
- Occasional humorous slides included throughout each disc
- Approximately 30 questions per disc, with a total running time of around 30 minutes
- Lounge group session: Load the disc on a large screen TV and let it run without interruption. Residents can participate individually, in pairs, or as a group without staff needing to manage the questions.
- Facilitated quiz group: Pause the DVD after each question is displayed, read it aloud, allow discussion, then resume for the countdown and answer reveal.
- Team competition: Divide the group into two or three teams, assign a scorekeeper, and tally correct answers across the session for a light competitive format.
- Reminiscence prompt: Use the video and audio clips as conversation starters before or after the question, particularly for clips featuring familiar songs, films, or historical events.
- One-to-one engagement: Run a single disc with an individual resident who enjoys trivia, using the pause function to allow extra time between questions.
