Hello all!
I am interested in finding out if anyone incorporates themes into their activity program and if so what different themes people have tried.
Examples of themes we have tried include;
- Exploring sound, song and safari
- Faiths, Festivals and Celebrations
Would love to hear any theme ideas you have!
Thanks,
Natasha

Hi There,
we celebrate a theme cultural day every Friday for happy hour. This event for us has been so successful the resident can not wait for Fridays. We decorate the room to what ever theme it is and dress a couple of the residents and staff as well. Very fun and enjoyable.
We do a month long "Under the Sea" every 2 years. We loved "International Ice Cream Day" this year. Craft, cooking and colour therapy worked well here. Get the Youtube clip for "Making ice cream in 5 mins. It really worked! We combine Left handers day with sandwich day each August for a fun day.
