I am so grateful for this website and the types of activities it offers. I use it everyday. The clients I serve are receptive to the programs offered. I never ventured into armchair travel until I found this website, and now it is one of the most popular clinics I put on. I also appreciate the Power Point presentations. I hosted the Cowboys and Cowgirls of the Wild West, what a treat! Thank you so much!!!

Would love to see some more group activities for much more moderate levels of Alzheimer's and Dementia that cannot follow detailed instructions but would still like more adult, not child like, activities.
Hi, JD, you could try activities that need very little instructions like when the group can use self-expression and strive towards independence with the material/tools available. In a group setting offer some air clay for them to mold the way they want to or set up a tea/coffee table where they can serve themselves a drink. It will give them a wonderful sense of satisfaction.
Some activities that needs minimal instructions:
Dancing/karaoke/
Songs reminiscing
Ball playing: volleyball, bouncing balloons to each other
Sitting exercises
Painting - water colouring/mosaics
Beading (jewelry making)
Gardening
Pet interaction
By the way JD, there are some âchildlikeâ characteristics that are conducive to a better life. Elders should be encouraged to give themselves permission to be childlike (not childish) and recapture the sense of fun, curiosity and wonder.
