Hi Paraskevi I use Microsoft Publisher. It is great software to make flyers, print birthday cards, newsletters ect. The program allows easier movement of photos and pictures plus text boxes can be placed anywhere ob the page. Its my favourite go to program.
Our Day Centre purchased a Croquet Set and made some blocks with holes in them for the hoops to sit in and use the Croquet Set indoors on the carpet. One of our clients previously played croquet and has helped guide use with our own inhouse rules.
We play a game called 'Confessional Hangman'. I'm not sure where I got the idea from but we use a variety of topics ( ie; proberbs,songs,household items, movies, icons in Australia ect) We have two teams and two different phrases to be solved. I use different coloured whiteboard markers to distinguish between the two phrases so each team doesn't get confused with which puzzle they are solving. We also use the Wheel of Fortune alphabet sheets (with the vowels covered) The clients keep track of the letters their team has chosen by covering the letters with washers as they are called. First team to solve their puzzle gets a tick.
I love love LOVE this site! there is so much information that if I am ever stuck for ideas I can ALWAYS find many many different things for my residents to do.
