Jacqui 09/12/14 We have also done this activity, but we bought cheap terracotta pots and in our craft group decorated them, this took at least four to five activity sessions from decorating to planting the residents then had their own individual pot.

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
