Hi Jennifer

Pool noodle as a bat, craft foam balls or sponge ball

try and get your sponges in orange, or lime green as visually impaired see these colours better

thanks

Great Ideas!.

We have10 blow up bats for Canada Day,

and I like the idea to use a brightly colored Nerf

balls to go along with.

Thanks for the idea!

you could try French cricket you get them to stand or sit in a circle with one person in the middle using plastic bat sponge ball the aim of the game is giving everyone in the circle a turn on bowling but trying to get the legs of the person in the middle three strikes on the legs your out also you can be caught out

I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
