i feel when we do the different bingo's its confusing when they are to similar eg 2 lots of flowers 2 lots of high heel shoes, broom with girl broom with dust pan broom by its self, its already different and our residents seem to struggle, i like the idea of the different bingo's but would just like good clear pictures, otherwise i spend so much time trying to explain what the picture is thanks heaps for all your idea's
we had a lot of fun playing charades, and came up with some great ideas - easy ones, I just thought if you were able to put up some blank cards so we could make our own. thanks heaps
I agree with Irena great idea but you need the next two lines of the song. I also don't know the answers and neither will they but if i was able to give the next bit they may get it

I just LOVE the multicultural section of this fabulous website. I work as a Activities Director at a day service facility and we are currently closed due to COVID! I am mailing/delivering personalized packages to our clients. We have clients of many different cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Adding pages of color-printed information from their country really brightens their day. The family members/care givers are delighted to see a spark in their loved ones eyes when they see and read about their history. I am becoming so educated myself learning all this. It will help me when we get back to work striking a spark in our clients eye when I reminisce with them about their culture. I seriously can NOT get enough of this fantastic site. xoxo :-)
