This is one of many free activities.
Golden Carers has 1000s of activities and resources for senior care.
This is a great way for men to form and strengthen friendships whilst having fun! Gather four residents with common interests and encourage them to play a couple of afternoons a week.
It's not just about the game; it's about the camaraderie, enjoying hot or cold drinks, and engaging in lively conversations.
Object:
- Improve focus and attention
- Improve hand-eye coordination
- Socialise and have fun
What you need:
- Four players
- Masking tape
- One six-sided die
- A few small coins (like quarters or five-cent coins)
Instructions:
- Gather four friends around a small table.
- Use tape to make a rectangle goal 20 x 30 cm (8 x 12 inches) in front of each player.
- Roll a die to decide who starts (highest number wins).
- The starting player flicks a coin across the table into the opposite goal.
- The defending player tries to stop the coin with their finger.
- If the coin lands in the goal, a point is scored and the next player takes their turn.
- If the coin falls on the floor, the next player takes their turn.
- The first player to score 5 points wins the round!
