Price is Right - Picnic Edition
This was so fun! The activity lasted the perfect amount of time (1 hour). My residents really enjoyed it! I did make an adjustment and gave them a price rage to guess for each item.

“
Your site is easy to use, I use it more often than the one our consultant has set up! I use so many of your ideas and love the Facebook page where everyone shares ideas, concerns and triumphs! I feel connected to a big wonderful caring society! I am always telling my co-workers how awesome Golden Carers is. I feel it is more in touch with the needs of my residents than many of the other Recreational Therapy sites.
