It is so nice to come to this site and get ideas for games and activities. Our Residents have really taken to adult colouring, so finding more pictures to colour is always great! Thanks everyone for sharing :)

Hi Sandy It is a good idea to speak to local GP's about your program. You will have to make an appt and bring lunch, but if they will support your program, it should grow and grow. Best of luck with it :)

How about sensory things, like a container with buttons, or leaves, or ribbons or all of the above. Ask Residents to pick something and talk about what its for, memories etc.
I have bought the large pads of "things to find" books and our Residents love them. I think they cost around $10.00 each, but there are around 20 pages and they are already in colour, so are easier to find. I have tried black and white, but the Residents find it harder to locate items.
I just wanted to tell you that this addition of "This day in History" is phenomenal!!!! I've been looking for something like this, and to have it all done, makes my job so much easier! I love your website and my seniors enjoy all of the great activities! THANK YOU!!
