Hi there I am looking for plays as in drama/theatre/skits that the residents can be involved in. Nothing childish.

The residents have become a little tired with choir and want to do something new & fun.

Thanks Bron

Hi Bronwyn,

We do have a number of Theme Day ideas: https://www.goldencarers.com/theme-days/

In particular the Pantomimes might be helpful, unfortunately, they're all designed for Christmas!

Hi Bronwyn,

I had another look, here is a skit you could do:

Funny Skit For International Joke Day

It's intended for International Joke Day but could be done anytime.

Hi Bronwyn'
have you thought of doing your own, We had a similar problem here with our residents tired of same old sing alongs so we got together and as a group made up new sing-a long books that process in its self was a great activity , when Christmas came around it was suggested that we write our own play rather than the same old nativity play so again we got together and made up our own. being in Australia and all so in a small community we had a great time reminiscing about Christmas as kids, family arguments, and lots of funny instant sis people had experienced and put a few together as an aussie Christmas lunch, it was alot of fun not only for the residents also the family's got a good laugh as well.
Good luck

I have an idea to try little short skits from the Carol Burnett show. Has anyone ever tried this? I play them on my iPad for my lady (101 yrs old) that I care for and she laughs and also remembers watching them. Maybe get a resident/residents, staff, volunteers to be the actors and put on a skit occasionally. Many to choose from off her shows!
