Old People's Home For 4 Year Olds

In this second social experiment, eleven older adults who live alone in their own homes, have volunteered to be 'mature age kindergarteners' by spending time with a group of 4 year olds at a specially designed preschool.

Week two of this social experiment, the seniors and children are tested on their memory. A series of activities designed to challenge their minds will prepare them for a memory based treasure hunt at the end of the week.

At the half-way point of this social experiment, the seniors and children are tested on their confidence levels. A series of activities designed to be a confidence boot-camp prepare the group for their biggest outing of the experiment out into the city of Sydney to a secret destination. The seniors get the chance to meet the parents of the children for the first time and hopefully form long-lasting connections with the family that will sustain long after the experiment has ended.

In this penultimate week in the experiment the focus turns to the physical. With activities tailored to improving the participants mobility, participants are pushed to their limits before competing in a carnival competition.

In the final week of this ground-breaking social experiment eleven adults and ten children prepare for life after the experiment as well as a concert, before the final testing shows if the experiment has had a positive impact.
