I did this activity using mutiple letters in a bag, the residents picked out ten letters each and see what words they could make up, score was kept and doubled if all letters used, the winner overall received a prize.

Actually there are two more reindeer...Olive (all of the other reindeer) and Howe (how the other reindeer).... Could be tricky, but its funny....does everyone sing the echo bits when singing Rudolph the red nosed reindeer...residents love this song.

Things You Wear on the Head Quiz
I have an activity like this already and have downloaded pictures of all sorts of things you wear on your head and then had pictures of people etc for the residents to match..for example Paddington Bear, Sherlock Holmes, the Queen and the hats Pictures I held up and the residents had to match them to the people. I had about 9 people to a page..the pictures of the hats etc were A4 size.

Hi Solange,
Have just found this website and had a bit of a giggle, perhaps some of this could be used. Love the last one.
Cheers JO
