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! Sylvia
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.
Golden Carers has been such a help to increase the range of activity sessions that we provide. Our residents love so many of the activities that are on here. It is also lovely that we can share our own idea's to help others. I am so glad that we signed up to Golden Carers - I am always recommending it to other activity coordinators locally.
