Lately i have poetry to be great for the residents around this time. I find poems by Banjo Patterson or other similar poets and read the poems aloud. The residents who can follow the story of the poem love to listen to that aspect of it, and the residents who cannot follow the story simply enjoy the sound of someones voice. Also, if you add animation to your face and voice, this heightens the experience for them. A perfect poem is 'The Man From Snowy River'
I absolutely love this idea and can be easily tailored to suit the seasons and have used a very similar board before. There are so many amazing, wonderful ideas on this site. Thank you so much
