Thanks for the great ideas & keep them coming, I used the recycled containers from my home. I used my phone to scan the QR code, all of my items were purchased from Wal-Mart so getting the price of the items were really easy. Sometimes you can use Wal-Mart QR Scanner on items purchased from other stores as long as Wal-Mart sell the items also. We had so much fun, the winner received the item they place a correct bid on or the bid to the nearest price won.
Hi I’m trying to find prices in the 1970 in ireland for groceries But coming up with nothing would love to go this activity with the clients ! Anyone know where to start looking for prices in 1970s Thank you
Hi Mary I found this on Google a pound of bacon cost 95 cents, a dozen eggs cost 60 cents, bread was priced at 24 cents, 10 pounds of potatoes was 90 cents, coffee was 91 cents and a gallon of orange juice cost 86 cents. I am searching in the US so you may have better luck by searching yourself With that said you do not have to have the exact prices You can ask the residents at another time to give you prices then have the activity at a different time
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.
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
