Hello everybody! I need suggestions... I work as a recreational therapist in 2 different centers. The organization I work for comes from the federal government. The ministry is asking us to have an activity program 7 days a week. Since I'm not in the 2 centers all week long, I would need your suggestions to find activities that caregivers and Beneficiary Attendants can do with the residents when I'm not there. Do you think of anything other than coloring, manicuring and playing a movie?
Hi Maude, there are many activities that can be led by Beneficiary Attendants and residents relatives. Here are some examples of activities you can find on Golden Carers with step by step instructions:
Quizzes - riddles - Crosswords - Word Game - Charades - Paper Chain garland for Chinese New Year - Match songs with Artists - One-Liners - Balloon & Bubbles - Penny Toss - Balloon game, Bowling - Proverbs
This website has been such a tremendous asset to me in providing such great ideas. The clients have enjoyed the picture bingo, quizzes and I am looking forward to doing word ladders with them for the first time very soon. I also print out crosswords and word searches and make up booklets for them to do in their rooms. I will be definitely rejoining.
Thank you,
Maude
