Lesson Plans - Older Persons

The following Lesson Plans are self-explanatory one to two page learning activities. They can function as independent lessons, but can also be incorporated into any relevant subject. Some of the Lesson Plans are written as take home assignments, while others are written as in-class activities.

All the information needed to complete each Lesson Plan is contained within the Lesson Plan:

• introduction
• objectives
• suggested time - some of the lessons can be divided over 2 classes
• materials
• evaluation scheme
• set up and questions

While the Lesson Plans were written for specific age groups, they can easily be adapted to different ages.
