Golden carers has helped improve my role as Engagement and activities practitioner, so many great ideas and activities available. This page has made my life so much easier, when I'm stuck for my own ideas i head over have a look what's new and a whole new world opens up. I have used Golden carers everyday since being in my new role, its amazing. Thank you to everyone that contributes.

Would love to see some more group activities for much more moderate levels of Alzheimer's and Dementia that cannot follow detailed instructions but would still like more adult, not child like, activities.
Hi, JD, you could try activities that need very little instructions like when the group can use self-expression and strive towards independence with the material/tools available. In a group setting offer some air clay for them to mold the way they want to or set up a tea/coffee table where they can serve themselves a drink. It will give them a wonderful sense of satisfaction.
Some activities that needs minimal instructions:
Dancing/karaoke/
Songs reminiscing
Ball playing: volleyball, bouncing balloons to each other
Sitting exercises
Painting - water colouring/mosaics
Beading (jewelry making)
Gardening
Pet interaction
By the way JD, there are some âchildlikeâ characteristics that are conducive to a better life. Elders should be encouraged to give themselves permission to be childlike (not childish) and recapture the sense of fun, curiosity and wonder.

Alz and Dem Residents, in smaller groups, 10-15 minutes so you can catch more groups if you are working by yourself. 3 groups within an hour 3 times a week.
