Hi everyone
I am wondering if someone can help me, I am wanting to do a "My Life story" for an elderly person I care for. They have new carers coming into the program and finding it a bit stressful to communicate at times. There is language, cultural and dementia barriers to add to some of the frustration.
Is there anywhere I could get a template from, or Ideas on how/what to put in.
Thanks heaps
Jen

Prize Walk

I placed numbers on the floor 1-20 in a circle (just like a cake-walk). I played music as the residents danced and walked the circle.

Taste Test Savoury Nibbles

I bought 10 different types of savoury snacks with unusual flavours and residents guessed the flavour. We also had interesting trivia such as which countries eat the most or least crisps and easy true false questions the history of crisps pretzels etc.

The Money or the Bag

We had a board with numbered envelopes stuck on it. (The prizes were written on a piece of paper in each envelope).
