Hello everybody! I need suggestions... I work as a recreational therapist in 2 different centers. The organization I work for comes from the federal government. The ministry is asking us to have an activity program 7 days a week. Since I'm not in the 2 centers all week long, I would need your suggestions to find activities that caregivers and Beneficiary Attendants can do with the residents when I'm not there. Do you think of anything other than coloring, manicuring and playing a movie?
Hi Maude, there are many activities that can be led by Beneficiary Attendants and residents relatives. Here are some examples of activities you can find on Golden Carers with step by step instructions:
Quizzes - riddles - Crosswords - Word Game - Charades - Paper Chain garland for Chinese New Year - Match songs with Artists - One-Liners - Balloon & Bubbles - Penny Toss - Balloon game, Bowling - Proverbs
Thank you so much for allowing us to share all the wonderful ideas that are on Golden Carers. It is so helpful, inspiring and they give our residents so much fun and the feeling of achievement once we have completed them. It is great that we can spread the days out and do a lot over time rather than in one session. THANK YOU ALL
Thank you,
Maude
