Hi Sherry

Thank you for this information

Thank you, I never stop learning from this site. I always feel uncomfortable not planning for the New Year and never thought of doing a 'New Years Noon or New Years Evening' function. Our residents are always in bed and asleep at midnight so I will plan something earlier for the end of 2022.

Hi Jean

I always had New Year’s eve parties during the day because it’s always New Year’s somewhere so I was celebrate with whatever country is having New Year’s at that time

I would invite family members to participate as well and I always went around to the rooms of residents did not attend the activity

I distributed hats and noisemakers and made a moctail punch

We made a toast to a happy new year

This was well received

And shapes writing skills. Please help tell me where I should go on

Hi Tina

I am not sure what you mean by writing exercises

Solange had recommended these for improving fine motor coordination

and improve residents’ dexterity could be offered through a series of activities like playing with clay, doing hand stretches; - flexing and stretching the hands and fingers to improve blood flow - and sewing large items with safety needles e.g. ‘sewing’ strips of leather around a frame

Some simple coloring might help too
