This is such a great game, my residents loved it so much we have made this a weekly event!

My activities are person centered. A lady came to the home and her interest was teddy bears, I stratched my head quite a bit, collected 'teddies' from willing residents and made a display in the lounge of a 'teddy bears' picnic. After that I was baffled again until I found pre-made teddies that only needed to be 'stuffed' (build a bear style). She really enjoyed that, made friends with the lady sitting next to her and the new friend assisted. The two new teddies she made sit on her bed now. Where to next, any ideas? I have another new lady creating a scrap book of cats, everyone is on the lookout for cat pictures for her. Once she has completed the scrap book she may keep it herself or it will be handed around for other residents to browse through. It takes imagination, research for products suitable and a small budget but it is very rewarding.

I'm so glad you can enjoy with your folks. I just love
putting these presentations together...it helps me to
keep my ol' folks engaged for at least 15 minutes of
one of our hour long online classes.

You are wonderful! Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks you for your beautiful hints.
Love them.

You're so welcome!
I enjoy creating them :)

I think your version looks great. I'm not sure about the shuffle feature but my guess is that it would go through the whole list before repeating a song.

Thank you Golden Carers for these great activity ideas. You have made my life a lot easier.

My same problem

Some brilliant ideas on this website. Useful and inspiring.

Thank you for what you do honestly. I use other sites and they seem babyish at times. Yours are new and refreshing! Your making the holiday season easy on me!!

this one seems to be missing some 4s but very fun to do !!

This is fabulous! Excellent discussion and made them think!

Thanks Christine, Gwyneth

Thank You Golden Carers. Once again, the full screen slideshow and hangman will be large enough on the big screen for all to view. Wonderful ideas. A day away from work means a day to explore your site!

Thank you for the Slide Show size. I did take your idea in past, and enlarge the photos to 8.5" x 11" for the folks to see. With the slide show, I can attach the laptop to the television screen and show on the large screen. Great idea for Men's Day!

Is there a January 2022 newsletter as the template says 2021?

I really enjoy the training courses offered by Daily Sparkle (U.K.), I was really inspired by a short course that I did recently 'Behaviour as Communication'. Learnt a lot from it and the points go towards my CPD.
