I am in the same situation as you. We play badminton with a birthday balloune. Play card games (Crazy 8 is an easy one) Play board games Singing and dancing (for those who can) Painting nails, Curling hair Knitting Bucket ball toss game Target toss (with mat on the floor) Crafting necklaces and bracelet with beads.
I just love love love this site - each time I'm glued to the many and awesome ideas to engage with our seniors. I recently downloaded some of the crossword puzzles and these seniors are fabulous to work with. That is just the tip of the iceberg. In this new chapter of my life, as semi-retired, I am so enjoying my time with seniors and watching them light up; I feel I've found a new niche. It's extremely gratifying. As to the cost of membership, it came out of my pocket - I rationalised that it was only about $3/month, less than many magazines. So keep up the GREAT work!!! Thanks again Golden Carers!!!!!
