I changed the game to Water Pong game, I put the cup on a tray so it could be moved up and down the table and still have 2 teams playing. The clients were not sure about the game until they started to get the balls in the cups. They had a great time.
Our residents played Ginger Beer Pong. We used Cascade Ginger Beer mini cans in a green can which looked like the real deal. Our residents have intellectual disabilities so we gave them 3 rows of paper cups to aim for. Everyone manage to get one in even the blind resident. Prizes were given for successful Pongs. Residents appeared to enjoy Beer Pong allowing staff to have a go as well (some staff were not as accurate )
So great to see people living with disabilities having fun and being able to adapt and modify games to suit gives more opportunies. Loved the idea of the mini cans and will definitely use that.....thanks.

Golden Carers has been a God send to me. The person before me left me winging it. So, I found Golden Carers in an internet search. I use the calendar, lots of the activity ideas, but the most appreciated is the different ideas from other members. Sometimes knowing what works in other facilities is so helpful.... I'm coming to the end of my first year, and can't wait to renew for another year.
