What we did today was quite fun. We went through ‘this day in history’ and then played hangman afterwards. All the words I chose, came from the information in ‘this day in history’. The residents quickly picked this up and then - once a word was identified in hangman - I asked them from which fact / detail it came. So memory was also tested. We had quite a lot of fun.
Hi Estelle Very interesting idea. Thanks for sharing it.

My resident love this day in history, and the different stories. I also like reading to those who cannot see enough to do it on their own. They also love the newsletter that I have started with your template. Should have done this sooner. Love this program. Thanks
I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
