Pass the parcel and you pass it around until it lands on the birthday person where they open it to find an extra little thing for the birthday person. I find that everybody gets excited to find out what extras could be hidden..Happyhou is always a good thing some times i even get an entertainer that can gives them extra attention. Or you could just take the birthday people out to lunch. Or take them to a vidio store so they can choose a vidio to take back to the home and share watching it while you serve small icecream cones.. Just a thought or two thats what I do depending on the birthday people celebrating

Does anyone have any ideas for Birthday Morning tea???? I do it on the first Tuesday of the month, with all the people celebrating that month, I give them a coloured cupcake and a candle in there, we sing, hand out presents from our birthday box, and then I read their stars..... That is getting boring.... anyone have ideas??????????????????????
divtherapy on Recycled Hoy Game | 2nd February 2012 View profile
We have a weekly game of Hoy. We too remove the ace's. But we only use 8 cards. 2 from each suit, but 2 of the cards must be high cards eg. King, queen or Jack. None of the cards can be the same number. So all cards are different numbers or high cards. Once all cards are turned over the winner gets fun size Milky way and the diabetics we give a sugar free chocolate bar too. Our residents very much look forward to the game.
