Great idea. Thanks I shall be doing this

Hi Gail,
I brought my chair dancing DVD from America last year. Its "Dancing through the decades" and it cost me about $28 including postage. You can also buy chair yoga and chair stretching. Most of my residents are high care and they really enjoy it. I always sit out front and do the session without using my legs, so my residents have confidence in themselves that they can do it also. The web link is http://www.chairdancing.com/. Goodluck

This is our Australia Day activities. The staff joined in the parade and we played thong throw, egg and spoon race, a giant map of Oz that we placed iconic pictures in the right state. The kitchen did an Australian menu and I decorated the room with pictures I had painted. I also came as "Louie the fly", which we sang along to, as well as other songs.

I decorated our room with Aussie picture I painted, eg: Dunny with a red back and a sign post with different towns and distance to them. The table decorations were Balloon holder with a flag and two gripping koalas. We had the staff dress up for a parade and played thong throw, egg and spoon race, sing-a-long and also had a giant map of Australia and had to place pictures of iconic landmarks on it.

love this idea, will certainly be doing it. let you know how we go. thanks for posting it.
