Chair Soccer

tks for sharing,will try in Day centre setting

Great idea, Thanks for sharing

Another way to play chair soccer is by using a beach ball and a bowling pin.

Seat the residents in a circle and place the pin in the middle.

The object is to try to knock over the bowling pin.

This can be done as a simple exercise or as a fun competition between the residents (1 point for everytime they knock down the pin), or as a team (every second person is on the same team...we use colored pinnies).

If there are people in the group that cannot kick you can give them a hockey or broomball stick. I will often do a quick pick-up game of Soccer Broomball.

Not only are you working the lower and upper body, but also eye-hand coordination and reflexes and most importantly, creating a fun, all-inclusive activity.
