I purchased a table tennis set (bats/ball/net pack) put two tables together, setting up so there is a wall along side the tables.The net was put up in the middle of the tables with player at each end.Residents were able to play seated and also while in fallout chairs/wheelchairs.A partially blown up balloon was used as a substitute for the visually impaired,also for those wishing to have an "EASIER" game. This was at a previous facility where I worked but the residents had an absolute BALL :D

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
