Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.

Hi,
I will be away on leave for two weeks in january and i want to put together activity packs to give to the residents while i am away. any suggestions for activities/items that could go in these? any help would be gratefully received!
Hi Jemma,
Have you thought about making a book on word searches various appropriate puzzles and colouring pages to keep them busy while you are away
Thank you
What about making activity boxes for the careers short easy interactions they mean engage with residents when they get some time. Short word games , make up add of clips and fav ties that open up conversations , letter association, sing along, mosaic to move to, matching socks, matching pairs , hand cream for a hand massage just a thought. Good luck
