We play "treat twister". I numbered the dots on the floor mat and did the same to the dots on the spin board. I folded the mat so that there is only 4 dots of each colour showing. I numbered the same coloured dots 1-4 and did the same on the spin board. Each dot on the floor mat has a prize on it (dollar store prizes like puzzle books, kleenex, pens, candy, etc..). The resident spins the wheel and whatever dot it lands on, they throw a bean bag at the same dot on the floor mat. If any part of the bean bag touches the correct circle, they win that prize! I often do this for special occasions like Christmas, Valentine's day, Halloween, etc. They really enjoy it!
Golden Carers is a wonderful resource. I really like the idea that more of it is going to be in video format as this grabs my participant's attention! Even after 20 years in the activity director role, the ideas in Golden Carers are often refreshingly innovative and really useful, even on the fly. Your help is invaluable! Many thanks!
