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
So glad I found you, your site is such a blessing to me 😊. I have been a PCA for 17 yrs. I am in charge of making up the monthly calendar and coming up with new ideas. It was starting to be a real challenge. I encourage all my residents to join in daily but they need new things offered to hold their interest. So glad I took a chance and signed up with you!!! You're making my job a lot easier. Thank you and keep up the great work !! It's so appreciated.
Thank you,
Maude
