I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!

Ask your Residents if anyone had a family member in the war, find out their name, where they were born, any information you can get will help in the search. You can search them in UK archives and print them out. Then read them out to everyone and present the file to the Resident. You can't believe how proud they are. Also play the songs that came out in that war and have a sing-a-long. You can also make crepe paper poppies.
These activities were for VE Day during COVID-19 but I think you could adapt and modify them to use for the end of World War One
