Hi and HELP !. We have a new manager and I need to 'revamp' my activities board. She has an idea of 'laminated activity tags' that have a picture and name eg dart board and darts, that hang under the days of the week. Does any one know where I can download & print such labels from?
My passion as a Montessori guide so aptly put into words. Thank you. I have recently completed a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust travel Fellowship to study Montessori & Dementia. This article was waiting in my inbox when I returned!
Hi . We have had an intergenerational project running for almost 2 years now. We do crafts, games, card making etc . Each week we liaise with the childminder and decide on a topic or activity. We made table centres at christmas on log slices, we have iced gingerbread men & made banana ghosts. We are lucky to have been given a lot of materials, but before that we took it in turns to provide the necessary . Our residents love having the children around. Good luck and have fun, and prepare to be very flexible
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.
