Hi Ellen I do not know what words Sharon had in mind You can ask a few residents who are high functioning to help do devise a list Or you can play many games on the the White board such as https://www.goldencarers.com/6-whiteboard-games-for-the-elderly/5428/ as well as others If you need more suggestions let me know
I have used google to find long words the longer the word the better, I also bring the definition with me because if not then I'm told there is no such word. Then after we are done we count the number of words that we come up with and we will leave it up for everyone to see. You will be surprised on the responses we get and other people will also come along and write a word we might have forgotten.
I will also give a special prize to the ones who can come up with words that are long as well, my residents love it!
I just wanted you to know that I have used google to find words for the white board, The longer the word the better. Our staff will even pop in and give words they find in the word we use. Once we are done we count how many we come up with and the next time we play everyone tries coming up with more words to beat the last score.
I have also given prizes to those who come up with long words within that word you will be surprised. Try the word Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. LOL This word was a LOT of fun. :)
Golden Carers is fantastic and invaluable, our clients love all the activities, quizzes and crosswords. You all make my job as a diversional therapist much easier with all your wonderful quizzes and ideas. A huge thank you to you and your team. 😊
