Can anybody recommend activities to do for a men's group? I work in a short-term respite cottage and have an all male group coming in a few weeks time but I'm at a loss of activities for them! They don't particularly like crafts or bingo, so looking for activities a little out of the box! Thanks for your help!
Hi Jordan, I work in respite so we actually close over the holidays, however in the lead up we have mini Christmas parties and celebrate with different foods, sing a long to Christmas carols and do crafts. We are from Australia so we celebrate with things like Pavlova and lamingtons! You could try looking at how other cultures and countries celebrate Christmas to give everyone something a little different. Perhaps if you have crafty clients you could involve them in making cards to send to family or some kind of shelter in your area? Best of Luck!
I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
