Hi Liza, I have done this in our PAG and modified it to assist those with memory deficits. All the items I place on the tray start with the same letter. An example would be 'S'.....stapler, piece of string, sticky tape, scissors, swizzle stick, salt shaker, packet of seeds, shell, rubber snake, spoon. The choice of items can lead to reminiscence and at times lots of laughter.
We really enjoyed ourselves!! This web-site is the BEST. I have set aside the other resources at my facility since I discovered Golden Cares. I am so thankful for all the work that has gone into this site. It makes my life as a recreation coordinator enjoyable. Thank you
