Musical group sessions are a wonderful way to bring residents together through rhythm, movement, and shared enjoyment. They can encourage social connection, lift mood, spark memories, and provide a simple way for everyone to participate, even if they are not confident singing or dancing.

In this activity, residents create their own colorful rainstick shakers using recycled cardboard tubes, rice, and decorative materials. Once finished, the rainsticks can be used in a group music session, allowing each resident to contribute to the sound and atmosphere.

This is a great idea!

I will try this as a group craft with our local kindergarten when they visit.

Hi Holly, that sounds like a lovely idea! It should be a great activity for residents and the kindergarten children to enjoy making together. Hope it goes well!
