Hi Janet

Resident led activities depend on the ability and cooperation of the leaders of the group and the participants

We played left right center and I gave Nickels to the nursing staff to give us prizes

There are many things that can be done such as a sing along

Card and or dice games

Discussion or reminiscing groups,

Religious groups

It really depends on the likes and needs of the residents who are leading and participants in these activities

I think a discussion with these people is in order so you can provide them with what they need to run the groups

When you have that information, iCan better direct you to the games and activities that will work

Unfortunately there are only a select few residents who will/could initiate self directed group activity, in our long term care home. With that being said, colouring club is one big draw in for residents.

Hi Tara

Thank you for your input

I would also like more of these self led, or resident led ideas. The ones I use at present are games like cribbage, crokinole, cards
