BiFolkal Visit Kits
When visits are fun, they happen more often. There's more to talk about that just the weather! Visit kits make it easy for friends, family or volunteers of any age to have a good visit with an older adult. These 12 kits can be used one-on-one or in a group to stimulate discussion. A manual, Time Well Spent: A Manual For Visiting Older Adults by Gayle Allen-Burket, provides many ideas. Each kit includes a card with photos, activities, and discussion starters as well as props to stimulate discussion on the following topics:
- Advertising
- Gardening
- Picnics
- Courting
- Hair
- Table Games
- Cure-alls
- Hats
- Vacations
- Fabrics
- Main Street
- Visits
