Hi, I've been making African drums today and am doing a group activity tomorrow " Making music" although thinking about it now I'm worried it's just going to be a cacophony of sound rather than music! We do have other percussion instruments which can be used as well as the drums. Has anyone done this and can give me some advice?
I was hesitant at first to sign up for another website for activities, but I have been pleasantly surprised. It has been fun to search all you have to offer and during Covid-19 your site has helped me and our other Life Enrichment Coordinator so much. I truly appreciate all you do and provide. It just gets better all the time. Our residents love the word searches because they are so bold and clear. We have used many of your ideas and I’m so grateful! Thank you!
