In our facility our residents are usually in their rooms regardless of the pandemic. I do room to room everything: Beachball basketball- small beachball and dollar store laundry basket Flamingo ring toss Morning stretches Give everyone a magazine and have them find certain items for a collage: ex: food items then take every one's picks and put it together. When I have completed it I bring it around to show them what they did. There's a bunch of crafts to do on Pinterest- in room There are also short funny stories and jokes Yesterday we decorated sand dollars with markers and made necklaces out of them Tomorrow we are making beaded bracelets. Also coloring with pencils and coloring pages off Pinterest is a good go to when I need something fast.
Sooooo happy and thankful I have this medium as it saves so much time and energy collecting info and collating it. Thank you everyone for all your ideas it covers sooo much!

It sounds like you’re doing a great job
I am just curious why residents stay
in their rooms all the time
