We do the same, picking one country a month. One week we watch videos about the country (Top 10 sites, etc), the next week we do some kind of art project that relates to the art of that country, another week we have music or food related to the country and the 4th week is a different but specific thing to the country. The residents really like it!
Any idea how to download You Tube Travel Videos to external harddrive? We do not have internet access at work. Would appreciate all thoughts and ideas.
Whether it's legal or not I am not sure, but it is possible by Googling "Download Youtube Video". Lots of sites let you enter the link and download it directly for you, like keepvid.
We love armchair travel! Our last trip was to Switzerland which was on one of our resident's "bucket list". We started with a 40 minute Youtube travel video, followed by some fun facts then finished off with sharing around some Swiz chocolate!
It's really wonderful to see our clients so engaged with the puzzles and word searches, the Trivia is really popular and our participants get a buzz out of getting the answers correct. Golden Carers is our "Go To" resource on a weekly basis and it is rewarding for our working day to add it to our activity programs.
