Hi I was wondering what everyone does to celebrate Seniors Week? In the past we have not celebrated it - I would love to do something special this year for them. (Apart from organising a bus trip to events in our community). Thank you in advanced!

Hi Carmen, Seniors Week should be celebrated with something special everyday. It doesn't have to be anything elaborate or expensive. Here are a few ideas:

Ukulele lessons demonstration
Karaoke session
BBQ Lunch
Jumbo games: Snakes & Ladders, Ring Toss and others.
Intergenerational Craft: match elders with children for creative activities.
A concert
A picnic
Dancing school demonstration
Art Expo: Gather drawings and paintings made by residents and put on display for pride and confidence.

Best wishes, I hope the above is food for thought.

Hi Carmen,

I found an old article on our site regarding this too. I have added it to the calendar.
