I'm gonna sit right down and right myself a letter singalong and exercise.9.11.20 Hello Karen, it was nice to read your comments and thank you - music activities are the best! I am Welsh, and they are noted for their love of music, it is so relaxing and revitalising, and like you - in my volunteer work, at a Day Care Centre for the elderly, I play the piano, do a lot of singalongs, exercises to music, old time dances, anything involving music, it brings laughter and pleasure. I also play the piano at the local hospital and the Doctor says the patients blood pressure is pretty good when they hear me playing, We seem to have a lot in common, nice to meet you on Golden Carers, all the best Gwyneth volunteer.
Hi Everyone. Music activities are the best! I use the song I’m gonna Sit Right Down ..... lots of times! When I play the piano I like to add trivia about the tunes. I give the dates these wonderful songs were written and the writers! Many songs are over 100 years old! Adding exercise to the activity is wonderful!!!! Thanks again

I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
