Thank you so much for this colourful version of Bingo. The residents love it. The only, constant, discussion from my residents is that the Chicken is a Rooster so I have to say "The bird that says Chicken but is a Rooster", otherwise I am reminded again that I am wrong.
Can you use your work copier to enlarge. Just place the A4 across the scanner then press A4 - A3 then press 100%. That should enlarge the whole page, print and all.
We made these for Easter and the residents thought they were really nice and , once managing how to roll the Carrot into a narrowed cylinder, had a great time.
I am going to see if I and our residents can make a paper version using tins to wrap the paper around and seal underneath so they can then decorate how they like with Australian flowers/animals , etc. A lot of my residents enjoy cutting out, colouring, etc. so they may actually give this a go.
A local zoo as a lot of people like animals or can you find some one who can bring in pets. We had staff ride their horses in and the men loved this. Is there a mens shed nearby?
What about a sensory bag which holds a feather, baby clothes, soap, etc for a lady and for a gentleman then a toy train/car, big bolts, etc or an apron/blanket that has items sewn on such as a zipper, pom pom, etc? Try and find out what their interests are and include those items that may encourage trips down memory lane. Hope that helps.
