have plan an activity around the inventions that are Australian as part of Australian Day theme. Going to do a timeline and discuss and reminisce about them.
You forgot a few, wine casks, motor mowers, to name a couple - this is a good starting point, I will use this but I may leave out things they won't know. Good idea though
thanks for this activity. I used this today with our pre australia day activity at our day centre. most were amazed that we aussies invented these wonderful things. Are'nt we clever!!! It opened up a good discussion theme for our Australia day. Thanks for the information
Christine I did this activity with our residents today, we did a combine session with our hostel residents and high care residents and it was great, it lasted an hour and they enjoyed it so much they have asked to have it programmed to do each week. It was a great session that opened up so much conversation and socialising with all units. Thank you so much for sharing a great activity.
I have only just found you and I have been overwhelmed by the content. A week ago, I was contemplating leaving my job because I was just running out of ideas and I was getting bored doing the same old things. Not now! Thank you!
