We did Talk like a Pirate Day last year! The residents really got into it. Talking like a pirate is fun -savvy? My team all dressed up as pirates and residents wore eye patches (cut out printed paper and elastic) and temporary tattoos. We marked the day with pirate quizzes, a wheelchair sword fight (foam), changed our Aussie flag to the jolly roger, watched the movie 'Pirates of the Carribbean' and sang some rollicking sea shanties. What shall we do with that drunken’ sailor?! The day concluded with a swashbuckling outdoor party complete with rum balls and a cursed pirate ship (cardboard & crepe paper) for residents to destroy with cannon balls (wet newspaper). Arrrrr!
So many great ideas in here. Glad to have found you, Golden Carers! Thank you for all the wonderful things you do to help all of us working with activities to better and to make our activities fun for our customers and us.
