1) I work with residents in low care (until 1st July). I have been doing a cognitive activity of "Rebus" puzzles. Some of my residents are starting to get the hang of doing these and enjoy them. I am looking for more Rebus puzzles that I do not have to pay for. I s anyone able to suggest books from libraries or websites ( already have some websites)? 2) I also the the 9 target word square out of the Sydney Morning Herald (same page as crosswords). Residents enjoy this. I have used one web site but the answers were very strange. Can anyone make suggestions please? Thanks Trishe
Hi Patricia, That's Life Magazine has a target word puzzle, you would just need to collect each week as the answers come out about 3 weeks later. Maybe a visitor or resident subscribes and could donate to you once they are done.
There is a magazine for activity directors called Creative Forecasting and each month it has new Rebus Puzzles in them. I have found that my residents really enjoyed doing them as well so I have just been goggled Rebus Puzzles or Word Pictures in an image search and copied/pasted onto a word document.
What an amazing site with so many activities to stimulate our elderly people and to make them enjoy the togetherness of everything you offer as activities. I am from South Africa, Johannesburg and being part of such a huge "population" of carers having the same Purpose in mind, is a huge priviledge to me! I am the Nursing Manager of a Retirement home and keep on encouraging my residents to participate in this journey made possible by you. Thank you, you are such an inspiration!
