Hi, we have a 69 resident facility with one recreation facilitator. I am looking for ideas for a Christmas program. Those who have assembly, what are some thing you do besides music, and poems. We have a memory tree for residents who have passed. We have secret Santa, but we do that on Christmas morning. Just looking for something different to do at an assembly.

Hey Michelle

Sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner

Same thing we always did was to have a resident choral group

I let any residents who wanted to join

They did not have to have a good voice

For Christmas they picked out Carol‘s they wanted to sing

We practiced for about a month

Then we had a family T and the resident choral group performed

We served finger sandwiches and desserts along with tea and coffee

The resident choral group

performed three other times throughout the year and we always had a tea to go along with their performance

We invited family members and elders who live in the community to join us

This activity is so good and so many levels

If you want more information about it please let me know

There are other Christmas activities you could do

Extremely happy I joined Golden Carers, it has become so useful for activities in the adult day centre I coordinate.
