I played the paint chip colour match game with my mom. What a great idea. She has some vision issues, so I thought it was great when she was successful at matching every one of them. We also played finish the phrase. It was a hoot. Got most of them right and had a few laughs at the ones we got wrong. What great activity ideas!
One is finish the phrase, the other is colour match -up (you go and get large paint chips from the hardware, or paint store. Get 2 of each colour. I put about 8 down in a row, then gave my mom a pile of 8 and she was able to match them. Just do a few at a time. The other game we played was the word association......salt and ............, Fish and ..............., wine and cheese............. All the of the people in the room enjoyed playing.
Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
