We run the Open Door Memory Cafe in Blackburn, Lancashire UK, so we aren’t in a residential setting. It’s the 3rd birthday of the memory cafe next month, and we’re wondering about playing party games. We are of course having a birthday cake and a musical session! We’ve put a quiz together with questions relating to the number 3, but we did wonder about some party games. Have you any suggestions for these? They can’t really be very active games, and I really don’t want to patronise our lovely guests. Any suggestions for what works well for you would be very welcome! Thank you! Elizabeth
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
