National Coffee Day - Coffee Talk

Picture

National coffee day was September 29th.

This is the perfect time to take the opportunity to make everyone's favorite cup just the way they like it, give cheers to the Fall season, and have a coffee* themed meaningful activity with residents using the senses (sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste). Allow coffee to take over everyone's senses. From scooping and grinding the beans, and the rich aroma of coffee in the air, to the oh...so...satisfying taste of it all! Memories will be stimulated, and laughter can be shared, even friendly debates worked out, and new brilliant ideas born - all of this is possible with the right cup of coffee.

Starter Questions for Coffee Talk:

  • How old were you when you began drinking coffee?
  • How do you like your coffee prepared?
  • What is your favorite type of coffee: hot, iced, and what brand is your go to coffee brand?
  • Where is the most interesting place you've ever had a cup of coffee?

*tea, or any other favorite beverage can substitute for anyone who is not a coffee fan.
