Bronwyn 8th Apr 2017

Hi Everyone, I am looking for backing music, free if possible, to download for a lot of songs that the music/singing group had on cassette's!! I would like to put them on CD, MP3, USB or my iPhone, and with the iPhone put them into music therefore I don't have to use my personal data. Our facility doesn't have WIFI only the internet for Management, You Tube is out of the question. We are waiting on the NBN, which should be another 5 mths. I am after backing music from the 30's, 40's, 50's, 60's & 70's. Cheers Bron in Australia

Hi Bronwyn, perhaps you could try discount stores and op shops / charity stores? They often have a huge range of cds. Garage sales too!

Let us know if you find a suitable online source for free music downloads!

You could ask some volunteers if they have anything that they do not want anymore and would be willing to donate some!

Sort the Colours

I saved various coloured milk bottle tops until I had enough to use for this activity. Its great for visually impaired and dementia clients. The clients gain a sense of self esteem and satisfaction plus it helps with fine motor skills.

Whiteboard Word Quiz

We choose a letter of the alphabet and use that letter to try and get as many words as we can. We use different amounts of numbers each time eg 4 letter words starting B another time it might be 5 letter words starting with C.
