The armchair travel activities are amazing we have had heaps of fun, throwing in word searches, bingo it’s amazing so a huge big thank you Wr have recently done France and last week Italy xx our good trolleys are a great edition offering residents sone snacks
Well all I can say is thank you so much for all your input, it really does make things easier during these somewhat "difficult times".
One game I would like to share with you is Balloon Badminton all your need is a balloon and two rackets, I have a resident who is 97 and she loves this and gets very competitive. It is brilliant for hand eye coordination and gets the heart going.
We have had a lot of fun with this, as I hope you all will.
Also a great favourite is floor dominoes - does anyone know where I can get some big floor games from i.e. snakes and ladders etc
I am looking for some inspiration during lockdown all our residents are staying in their rooms I have been doing 1:1 sessions but need some quick fire quizzes or something similar, I do have one resident who loves word searches anything really Thanks
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
