Hi, just starteda new job as a Rec Officer. Will be taking exercises classes, however the space is limited and they are restricted to chairs or wheelchairs.
The activities look great, but not appropriate for what I will require. Any ideas for fun and lively activities for this enviroment and group?
Hi, just new to this and a little nervous ... will be leading an exercise class for about 20 or so, and they will be in chairs of some sort. Space is also a little limited as well as staff. Some of the ideas I have looked at are fantastic, but not what I can produce for them.
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.

Tried to find this but am having trouble, can you advise.
Thanks :)
