I do this by purchasing a few items, (save the receipt for proof of cost)
Then print/write a shopping list to give to clients. They then put the price they think each item costs and then total the cost of the list. This gives you time to chat about the items. The nearest to the receipt cost wins the goods.

Many years later, I'm going to slip this in to my program. Thank you

Fish stories. Sit around the Fish tank and have each resident say one sentence about the fish. The activity associate writes down each line until they have, as a group, created a story about the fishes in the tank.

Hi Linda! :)

We are working on some exciting features to better integrate these kinds of media. In the meantime, this should hopefully solve your issue:

1. On the playlist above, click the Spotify logo in the top righ. That will open a new browser tab, and should prompt you to "Open Spotify"

2. Open opened, as long as you have Spotify installed on your computer, it should open your Spotify program and show you the Crooner Lyrics Quiz playlist we've created

3. Now all you need to do is click the dots menu (to the right of the play button), and click "Add To Library"

That's it - now it's been added to your account as a playlist. I hope that helps!

I am trying this game today with some higher functioning residents. I will award the point to the one whose answer is different from all the rest. Let's see who can come up with the most unique answer!

This playlist for the Old Crooners is amazing! Oh, how
I wish I could bring it to my ol'folks.
I've tried saving it to Spotify, but I can't get on Spotify
because I have another program ??? which they say competes with
them???
I've tried learning how to create my own playlist without lyrics, but
couldn't accomplish getting it on Power Point.
Any suggestions?
Maybe a good idea for Golden Carers would be to offer classes on how to replicate some of the sophisticated programs you offer. I can't imagine that it would effect your subscriptions negatively.....
Worth a thought!

A new activity has been posted by a Golden Carers member: Queensland day poster for 6th June please? :-)

I thank you so much for having these newsletters! My residents and their families just love it and I like how I can just add and edit to my liking!

Just a couple things I noticed (not a big deal) but Father's Day is June 19th (not 22nd) and, on the "Noticeboard" under :new staff" it usually states "foes" instead of "goes" (on all the past newsletters I noticed). But again, it is not a biggie!!

I appreciate all you do on this site, and love it with the ideas and things to do when I am stuck!! :)

Thanks for posting this! Great activity for July

Hi,
I'm English through and through. My family were all cockneys. Not me though, I was born in Camebridge because my family were running a pub/resturant there.

Just so you know..
a tenner is actually £10...(the clue is in the question) as in a fiver is £5. BTW we don't say twentyer :D

other monetry terms are
a pony... £25
a monkey... £500
dough
dosh
smackers
bread and honey
bangers and mash
penny pincher...tight with their money.

oh and spend a penny ??.... nope! it's not that! ....it's to have a wee.
I Love England... we're so weird lol... waves imaginary patriotic flag

Thank you, I am so grateful for all of you that make the lifestyle therapists jobs easier so that we can give a great service to the elderly. Our time is limited and your ideas certainly help. Bless you all.

Thanks for the feedback Kelly, I love this song. Gwyneth

This is a great quiz. I'm always looking for something to test the residents with and make them really think. Great Job !

Excellent advice, thank you.

Hi this is great but is there any way we can get the Name put on the top of the form from round 11as I am unable to change that because it is in a PDF

It has been brought to my attention, that lobster is rather a crustacean and NOT a fish.

My grandmother taught us this song when we were kids. We used to sing it while on long hikes along with Soldier, Soldier Will You Marry Me? Hours of singing. Thank you for sharing and the conjured memory!

Good morning to all. My residents love the word unscrambles and the site only has about five or six can we please add more of those.

Great selection! Thank you!
