We do something very similar. I take a branch in a pot to work ( or draw a tree on the whiteboard) and our clients write on coloured paper leaves and hang (or stick) them onto the tree. Our Thanksgiving Tree looks beautiful!
My residents love to talk, we often have discussion groups where I ask a simple question and a very long discussion ensues with so many different subjects it goes for ages. I can see these activities being very rewarding in my facility thanks for the ideas. Lisa
I cant rate this site high enough. The activities and ideas are fantastic, varied and very relevant to our service. I log on every morning to see what's new and I'm always printing and using your materials. Honestly the best site I know of to provide activities for older people.
