Well done Gillian of Canada. I can appreciate the amount of research that went into putting together this power point. And I also cogratulate you on having the initiave to think of it for the use of others logging in to Golden Carers. I shall certainly try it out myself on my fellow group at Tawa Redwood Club in New Zealand.

How I was taught to remember Leap Year:
THIRTY DAYS HATH SEPTEMBER, ALL THE REST HAVE THIRTY-ONE, EXCEPT FOR FEBRUARY AT WHICH TIME, FEBRUARY'S DAYS ARE TWENTY-NINE

We play golf putting on the carpet at The Redwood Club in Tawa Wellington NZ. The back board is easy to make or usually can be purchased. Great fun for left or right habders.

What a good test off memory but it is a pity you did not supply the answers as I have never heard of many of them

I say again that Soccer is one of many forms of football or footy, just as American football, Rugby Union, Rugby League, and others are. Actually those responsible for insisting that football is Soccer are correct but to rename Soccer as Football only are misusing the word. Let's all call the game Soccer and avoid the confusion with the other forms of Football

Croquet sounds an interesting game to get our residents up and active so I am exploring making the hoop from your instructions and acquiring a club as well but need some guidance on how the game is played. We have a carpeted area to play it on and some Bocci balls to use but how is scoring made. I would like some guidance on the proceedure please.

Glad to know others found the activity of Landing on the moon with paper rockets great fun by both men and women. Pleased to be able to share it with everyone.

If others have good ideas for time currant or relevant activities please forward them so we can all share in the fun and games.

Quizzes of every kind can be found on this site. I have actually made up quite a few which are available but you can get more by googling "Quizzes" on the internet. Take your pick from a straight subject quiz to a quirkey quiz which uses puns to get the brain box working. These are a lot of fun

In New Zealand Soccer is Association Football and Football is Rugby (Union), Rugger or Footy. Other games of football are Rugby League, American Football or Gridiron, Sevens (in Rugby Union), and a number of other variations in some sports. But Football has always meant Soccer.
