The Sentimental Digital Network always provides ways for activity directors to incorporate important and enjoyable elements into their Activity Calendars. Here are some great tips as you complete your planning for February, March and April.

Line up our videos and excerpts with your calendar:

This package includes two full videos. The first is Songs of Love & Laughter with songs like “It Had To Be You,” “You Made Me Love You” and “I Wonder Who’s Kissing Her Now. It’s fitting for Valentine’s Day but always popular.

The other is our Timeless Trivia program titled Advertising Slogans, Jingles & Taglines.
It’s our most popular trivia episode.

For St. Patrick’s day, our sing-along Irish Songs & Other Folk Favorites is available free under the “Sample Our Content” on the cover page of this web site.

Most of the rest of the videos are shorter, between five and 10 minutes in length. These videos can be grouped together or used as just one part of a larger activity. They are great conversation starters.
