This site has meant the world to me. It is so broad and covers a lot of aspects of Elderly living. I am so confident about presenting my activities to my Residents, as we find it stimulating, both physical and cognitively

At the beginning of the season you will get the tipping sheet in your newspaper. I print out weekly each round for the residents to fill out. I get these back by Friday each week. On Tuesdays I will tally up the scores. I give 2 points for each win - I then add these up & place on the score sheet. Each week you add up the new score with last weeks score & it will keep going for 36 weeks. I haven't asked for any money, but some will ask for example $1 per round .....I hope that explains it !
We run a footy tipping each year. It is $5 to enter. We print out booklets of all rounds for each person and keep them in a folder. Each week we go an get the tips from the residents or they bring them to us. We give 2 points for a win and if it is a tie 1 point. We have the footy tipping competitions charts in each area which we display the running tally. We don't tip the finals and we give prize money to 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last. The prize money depend on the number of participants. We also include staff into our tipping competition. Hope this helps.
