How Throw & Tell Activity Ball Works
The beauty of this game is its simplicity – simply catch the ball and answer one of the questions located near one your thumbs.
The questions have been carefully chosen so that anyone will have an answer that relates to them personally, for instance; their favourite biscuit or something they did as a child. These questions work like a key to unlock memories that lead to more detailed discussions. Inevitably sharing great memories and reminiscence about things the participant’s value and enjoy.

Feedback
“We introduced the ball onto the residential and nursing units and they have gone down well with staff and residents. Not all residents can read the question so we help when needed, but this has sparked some good conversations. The size of the ball makes it easy to catch so everyone can join in.”
Sue Goodrich, Activity Coordinator Prince George Duke of Kent Court
“The ball has generated a lot of laughter. We even used it at a conference to explore the group. When using the ball we learned one lady loved to watch Coronation Street and her favourite biscuit was a chocolate digestive. Including this information in a person’s care plan is invaluable.”
Geraldine Rodgers, Nurse Consultant North East London NHS Foundation Trust
