Hand lotion, photos books, treats like chocolate rose.

I am in the same situation as you.
We play badminton with a birthday balloune.
Play card games (Crazy 8 is an easy one)
Play board games
Singing and dancing (for those who can)
Painting nails, Curling hair
Knitting
Bucket ball toss game
Target toss (with mat on the floor)
Crafting necklaces and bracelet with beads.

It really is an amazing idea !!! Thank you Diane !
I will need to find a way to adjust this activities since more than half of my residents are in wheelchair...

Hi Victoria,
This is an example of one I did for a resident. I removed the name and personal informations but keep the big lines to give you an idea !

Hi everyone !
What are you doing for St-Patrick's Day?

I already look in the files for St-Patrick's day celebration...

Hello everybody! I need suggestions... I work as a recreational therapist in 2 different centers. The organization I work for comes from the federal government. The ministry is asking us to have an activity program 7 days a week. Since I'm not in the 2 centers all week long, I would need your suggestions to find activities that caregivers and Beneficiary Attendants can do with the residents when I'm not there. Do you think of anything other than coloring, manicuring and playing a movie?

Thank you,
Maude

Hello everyone, I would like to start a newspaper about leisure activities. Someone would have a name to suggest me? I thought about: What's about Leisure? ... but I'd love to hear your ideas!

For me, I work with the same activities on the same day of the week.
For example :
- Monday: physical activity (Pockets, bowling, Target Toss, etc.)
- Tuesday: Volunteer visit
- Wednesday: Cognitive games and board games and bingo in evening
- Thursday: Social activities (happy hour once a month, games, themed activities)
- Friday: Occupational activities (Colouring, puzzle, button sorting)
- Saturday: Music or movie night
-Dimanche: Mass and Church services
