Musical bingo is a big love at our day centre.

Have you got the John McSweeney DVDs? Our clients love them. I've just posted about my activity files if you want access.

Hey Ria

Thank you for you input

Hi Jam

I think the activities you provide should be ones that the residents like to do and are capable of doing

You may want to have a meeting with the residents to see what they like

I assume you have some information about each resident which should help you at the meeting

Remember you can adapt and modify activities they used to enjoy

you have a good start

If you would like to share the abilities and likes and dislikes of the group I can help you further

My residents always love playing noodles and balloon - cut pool noodles in half, each resident gets one to hit the balloon, sit the residents in a circle and try to keep the balloon afloat. Laughter and joy and great interaction always occurs.

Thank you for the suggestion it sounds like you have a lot of fun

You can facilitate interaction among residents by doing a monthly "Resident Spotlight," where residents gather to meet one resident and get to know them better. My residents love this and are always wondering who the resident will be for the month.

Interesting idea

I say if it works for you go for it
