Hi I have started this activity for a couple months now. The Residents especially from Low Care and some from Demenit unit love this activity and look forward to every Thursday afternoon. We set up the Activity at afternoon tea time as this attracts more Residents. Our Residents also find the Words they want to use. We have not give out any prizes as this is a combined effort. Each week they try to beat the amount of words they got in the last weeks. This truly has been one of the successful Activities for this Year.
Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
