I have also had success with Chicken Soup books at a senior day car facility. I am going to try recording some Nora Ephron, Erma Bombeck, and James Herriot for our You Tube channel, since we are not doing in-person reading right now due to Covid.
I may try some themed stories such as the Lincoln's beard story for President's Day or Armistice Poems for Veteran's Day.
I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!
