Our community is right across the street from a school. K through high school.

I would love some suggestions for intergenerational activities that were successful in your communities.

Thank you!

Hi Sylvia

I like most of these activities

Also, we had students come in to help decorate for the holidays

Kindergarteners came and sang some of their songs for us.

(limited activities because of COVID restrictions)

They march through the dining room on Halloween.

The Waldorf School Kindergartners make their own dolls. They came and had a naming ceremony in our larger room. Then they walked around and told us the names they gave to their dolls. It was a great experience for the children and us.

HI,

Thanks, ladies for the suggestions! I am excited to try some of these activities!

Every time that the kids come over, I see how valuable this relationship with the school is.

We have such a special job working with these seniors! God bless each of you.

“ I just renewed my membership. When I got the notification that my first year was expiring, I knew I had to renew, there was no doubt in my mind. GoldenCarers is PRICELESS! As a DJ and mobile entertainer for over 38 years, much of my business is with assisted living facilities, and Golden Carers has taken it above and beyond my competition. It always has something useful - too many to point out. I could not imagine running my business without Golden Carers. You guys ROCK! “
