1950s Large Print Activity Packet for Seniors, Fifties Trivia & Puzzles, Memory Care Reminiscence

A complete 1950s program, ready to print, for activity directors at senior centers, assisted living and memory care, and for families who do activities with a loved one at home. It isn't tied to a month, so you can use it any time of year.

Every page is TRUE large print. Every letter and number is at least 16 point, including the answer keys, set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for low-vision readers. Every puzzle is checked by computer, so each one has exactly one right answer. Every trivia answer is checked against two published sources.
