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
I really love your website. I still find it incredulous that this site exists. I know how hard it must be for our Lifestyle teams to keep coming up with ideas and activities and to now have found this site - WOW. I really do think it says a lot about the immense value of community collaboration - because this site is about that! so I am immensely proud that people, especially older people, may be benefitting from this wonderful resource all over the world.
Thank you,
Maude
