Loved this activity, played with my folk,although i only had four aside,if a six was rolled, i just had the person rolling the dice to choose two folk on opposite them to throw twice. Lots of fun especially when a person had to pick the extra thrower.
A local made our markers out of empty shotgun cartridges they work a treat with this game and bingo as they are easy to pick up. i found the game mentioned above where you can't role a 1 and the first to 100 wins. I have one lady who just keeps going and last week she rolled a total of 106 in one go my folk love this game and its a great time filler.
Solange thanks for your kind words, you were right it has gotten easier, I still finish the day tired but happy. I've learnt to slow down and that its about providing purposeful activities that matter, thanks for the support. I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS FANTASTIC SITE.
Hello everyone, I'm doing a research project for my DT course about how isolation affects those living with dementia, I would love to hear from anyone who knows of websites, books, etc thanks
hi, I've just taken on the roll as activity coordinator, I think I might be trying to hard to keep the residents entertained per say, I'm trying to keep them busy for the whole 5 hours either one on one or group activities, discussions etc, but when I get home I'm worn out, then at night my mind goes a hundred miles an hour thinking of things to do.(thanks to your site I'm finding new things much easier), Is this normal?. Hopefully I can find a happy medium soon. I would love to hear from anyone that has any tips to help ,Thanks
Golden carers has helped improve my role as Engagement and activities practitioner, so many great ideas and activities available. This page has made my life so much easier, when I'm stuck for my own ideas i head over have a look what's new and a whole new world opens up. I have used Golden carers everyday since being in my new role, its amazing. Thank you to everyone that contributes.
