Tips for playing with seniors
- Not everyone needs a phone. Pair people up and share a phone, or play in teams with one player tapping.
- Pick relaxed games first. Bingo is the easiest start: the TV calls the numbers and checks every card.
- Choose the questions. Our ready-made quizzes cover movies, music, sport, food and the world, or you can write your own about the group's own memories.
- Let a carer or grandchild host. The host runs everything from their phone, and can play along too.
