would it be possible to post the 'FunRiddles' from number 1 - X1 as our residents really enjoy the interaction of working these out. Thank you Kind regards Helen Butterfield
Thanks so much for the link to find the 'fun riddles' Talita. II have printed them and downloaded them. This should keep the residents going.
Also we play 'Card Scrabble' at our place. These cards are bought from Mind Games - $10.00 per pack - we use 2 x packs for the number that come to our activity. My volunteer runs the activity - gives each resident 4 vowel cards and 5 consonant cards and each resident makes up words using just their own cards - with help from residents and volunteer if they have trouble using all their cards up. The challenge is to use all your cards - and sometimes this is very hard especially if you get 3 x Es etc. There are other cards in this pack we don't use them - we have found the residents enjoy using just the letter cards.
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
Thank you
Kind regards
