You may have to adapt some of these ideas to make them Covid friendly

Thank you!

I really enjoy those recommendations! However, i'm looking for something a little different than activities. Something i can do in small groups/individually that will make them feel special and loved on the holiday. We have a lot of residents who don't keep in touch with family and we are who they have. With COVID i am trying to brainstorm ideas that will be special for them. Possibly a light show in our backyard, a Photo tree etc. Just wondering what others might have planned to make their residents feel the joy of the holidays :)

Hi There. as we cannot have the kinder kids in again yet we continue to do zoom calls with them and we are organising a carols singalong with them over the zoom with our residents, so we have started to practise, we have the song books etc. kids around Christmas is super important to the residents.

Thanks for the information Jenna

Hi again Kayla

This ornament sounds like it might be a good idea

You have some great ideas

Along the idea of a photo of three you could make a photo wreath

Perhaps you can help the resident make a wreath of statements that are saying why you and other staff members love them

You could do this using this linked garland or use the garland for something else. https://www.goldencarers.com/special-messages-on-paper-link-garlands/6066/

Hi kayla! I am a lifestyle coordinator in UK. Today, I'll try to make Christmas yarn balls. I've bought fairy lights and Led candles- both bargain deals on Amazon. I'm planning to display them on windows' edges. Are loads of videos on YouTube and they are very easy making. Also, paper stars decorations would be another easy activity without spending a big amount of money.

Thank you for this information Camellia

We are doing room to room also , need ideas , I feel like i'm doing the same thing over and over , sigh
