I'm writing a time line and have a quiz but I need an activity to start the event. Thank you in advance
Hi Susan, here are a couple of ice-breakers for your party. Hope they help and good luck!
- Ask guests to say Hi to each other and introduce themselves.
- Have the family to organize a short This is Your Life with slides of photos and significant moments in the life of the birthday person, like special memories or fun stories from the past.
- You may find some trivia from the year the person was born and read it out to guests. Find happy and fun events of that particular year.
- Play the game Do You Have...? This is a group game where items are gathered from various people encouraging interaction. The game consists of roughly dividing the guests into two groups and giving each group a list of things to produce from their pockets or handbags etc. Each group should have a leader who will shout out every time they find an item. The group with the most items wins the applause of everyone.

I have recently started my new position of Lifestyle Coordinator working with elders. I decided to join Golden Carers membership for activity ideas and chat forums. It has been the most wonderful experience and helped me immensely with the endless ideas and activities, I especially like the monthly Calander templates. It is an invaluable resource!
