Videos for Seniors

Sound and images can be very helpful in prompting sensory memories and are also useful for starting conversations. They can also encourage the viewer to experience some of the feelings associated with going out and about on a journey, but from the safety of their computer or tablet device / iPad.

Here you’ll find a number of videos that are grouped around various themes. These complement the Senior Fiction books and can be helpful to set the mood before and after reading. Although they do not exactly relate to specific scenes or book chapters, they are similar and are useful to set the mood. Videos are also useful if you are reading books as part of Reader Group.

Walking in a London as the rain comes down. Past shops, pubs, restaurants, taxis, cars – even a red London bus.

How many umbrellas can you count?

Helpful tip: Take your time. Videos can be easily paused (space bar) or rewound (left cursor).

Remember it is to comment on something looking nice or being fun. Conversations don’t have to be driven by always asking questions, but can be simply talking about what can be seen or heard.
