Hi Jean,

I think anything you can do to avoid residents constantly in front of the television is great. Maybe schedule set movie times and make it special by offering a treat such as popcorn or root beer floats.

I believe you need to be guided by the residents. If they enjoy playing instruments during a sing-a-long, then you know it's something worth doing again. If not, try something else.

I always color code my activities as we go through the month so I know which were a success as it's important to let your activity program reflect the wants and needs of the residents.
