Hi Anne I have done the 12 days of Christmas with my residents the past 2 years, What I do is I pick out 12 residents, each one represents the day of christmas, I give them a printed piece of paper with just the day that that are on it and when we sing the song when we get to that particular day only that resident sings that line. We have so much fun with it as they usually forget who's turn it is and have to rely of me to point at them when its their turn. I hope this helps your activity I found that not everyone remembered what each day was so it works much better if they can read it to remind them. I thought this year I might try the Australian 12 days of Christmas!

Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
