We have had the fortune of having celebrated 3 - 100 plus celebrations and have utilized information such as the above along with on this day information from internet. Families and other visitors love to hear about what Mum/Dad are older than or what happened in the year they were born. We have printed it out for them to take and read later.

Thanks for your feedback Maureen. Yes, on this day websites provide great information too, don't they!

hi reminiscing is great fun anytime, i put together some sticks red/yellow paper put a flickering torch and made a fire, got a lantern from Kmart that is battery operated and we pretended to go camping inside with marshmallows, melted chocolate/strawberry and hot chocolate and told stories around the fire.

oh I love this Cherrine. I think someone sent in a picture of a pretend fire a while back but I can't remember on what activity, it looked so good! If you have a chance to send in a pic next time you run this activity that would be great!

A colleague referred this resource to assist in implementing our activities program many years ago. I felt, I had struck 'gold.' It has been immeasurable in assisting to provide new material and ideas to stimulate our clients. I will be a member for my working life. Thank you!

Your site is easy to use, I use it more often than the one our consultant has set up! I use so many of your ideas and love the Facebook page where everyone shares ideas, concerns and triumphs! I feel connected to a big wonderful caring society! I am always telling my co-workers how awesome Golden Carers is. I feel it is more in touch with the needs of my residents than many of the other Recreational Therapy sites.
