The residents at the facility where I work just love the Word Finder, and Australia Day will be no exception. I will be working on Australia Day, so looking forward to lots of fun. Thank you for the activity ideas, great. Linda
this was lots of fun, we played different versions of this to make it interesting and more challenging. first all thongs had to land fully inside a hoola hoop. then through the hoop into a bowl on the other side while moving the hoop slowly side to side.
What a great idea, I actually purchased the thongs with the flags on them $2.00 per pair, decorated the room, had Slim Dusty cds, & the esky, I have some of the best Thong Throwers on the Central Coast, they had a great time. After the Comp I served a "cuppa" with saos & vegemite. Thank you for sharing this great idea.
I did this last Australia day it was alot of fun and well received by all residents. I turned it into a competition and residents received a small gift relating to Australia. The Aussie Competitive Spirit never dies...

I've done this a few times for Australia day, but we actually have a couple of pairs of thongs and we use an esky for the residents to throw the thongs in...it's hilarious

I appreciate the time and effort you put into finding and creating activities for seniors. I especially appreciate the freebies as I am a volunteer which implies I do not receive a paycheck so I really count on the free items your site offers and put them to good use at the PC and Dementia facility I volunteer at.
