has anyone out there have any neat ideas for bingo prizes for a nursing home that is very low functioning? I cannot give them candy or popcorn or thing in that nature so I need help....Thanks

toothpaste, deodorant, bath wash(with a pump action) , picture frames, Dove soaps, Fans (hand)
How about; lavender sachets for the ladies and car air fresheners (paper ones) for the men, travel size shampoo and conditioner, tissues and body spray (try Reject shop for $1 bargains), op shops for nick nacks, books, jewellery, scarves.
Hankies, Packets of Tissues, Combs you can buy for $2 a packet. Bars of Soap I wrap them in cellophane and tie a ribbon around, mini photo frames, sensory bags, ask staff if they have any toiletries from hotels they would like to stay in.
Great ideas. Sally, Rosina Cathy, Shari, and Anna I particularily like boxes of Kleenex It seems like the residents never have enough Kleenex and I always need it. Costume jewelry necklaces always seem to be a hit for the ladies I think ties are nice for some of the man and you might be able to get some donated I always did Thanks again everyone for your suggestions
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.
