Once again, Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity, and I often choose a very shy resident to take part - it’s amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quizzes help keep minds active and give residents such a strong sense of self-worth when they get a correct answer.

Merry Christmas to all. I would like to have a beach party in January and am thinking of doing a sandcastle competition with Kinetic Sand. Has anyone tried it. I'll do Beach Boys music, bright clothes and a barbecue as well.
Hi
I'm planning one for February with our childcare gtoup that visits. I love the kinetic sand castle idea.
I was going to get a couple of blow up paddling pools and use the fishing game. Beach volley ball would work too I think.
Good luck

I have had a beach party using regular sand. If inside- I used planks of wood upon tables or picnic tables outside. I got bags of sand from the hardware store and opened then on the wood.
Poured a little water in and bought sand buckets, plastic shovels and other sand toys etc. to create sandcastles.
If outside we had a BBQ and music playing or order hot dogs and food.
This is a great sensory activity as the food is scent, sand is tactile, socialization, music is a sound and memory activity.
Many thanks- Marcy
Wow Marcy
