I am searching for activities to do with water that can involve residents at hospital level care. Besides hand massages and the ability to experience a small element of water therapy. I would appreciate some suggestions that could broaden the theme of water-play for indoor and outdoor activities.
I did a fishing tournament w/ my residents. It was a lot of prep but the outcome was rewarding to watch. Materials Needed: Fish floaties Hot glue little magnets strings (fishing line) Stick (fishing rods) Water in Tub Hot glue magnets to fish and put another magnet at the end of the fishing line, tie the line to the rods. Have resident sit around the tub w/ little floating fishes and try to catch fishes. You can have coolers of drinks and music to the side. FUN! FUN! AND FUNNY at the same time.
Golden carers has helped improve my role as Engagement and activities practitioner, so many great ideas and activities available. This page has made my life so much easier, when I'm stuck for my own ideas i head over have a look what's new and a whole new world opens up. I have used Golden carers everyday since being in my new role, its amazing. Thank you to everyone that contributes.
