Thank you for sharing Marine, I have a few would be poets, individually they write poems, the idea of a "poets club" is fantastic, I have put it to the small group and their response is fantastic. Thank you Bobbie
A problem which I hope someone can assist with, when doing an ice cream run, how do you keep the ice-cream from melting? I can't do it any faster, I have tried sitting the ice-cream bucket in a tray of ice, nothing seems to work. How do others overcome this issue?
Hello Marady, I am in the same position as you, new to the Lesure and Lifestyle role, I have found a few things through this site and on the web, I have just introduced , balloon tennis (fly swats and balloons) our residents love this, as well as Ball drums, large exercise balls in a basket and music they can hit the beat too. I have just purchased a set of three dice and looking for ideas, the dice are large around 12 inches square.
Thank you Golden carers for all the great ideas. My residents really enjoy the quizzes and some of the craft activities. They especially want "This day in history". I try to make it a morning ritual after the newspaper reading. This month there are so many great ideas for St Patrick's day, many I have printed off to use. I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's day. Here is my beautiful cat, she is much more photogenic than me!
Poetry Club
Thank you
Bobbie
