We play and do actions to the Macarena. Hand, palms, shoulders,ears, tummy, hips, wiggle wiggle, clap. They love it. Also march to "When the saints come marching in" and the chicken dance sitting down. Lots of fun.
Last collage we did was for the residence to cut out the letters of there names and glued them to a large piece of paper (including staff) They love looking at it and finding there names.
We played this this week and was a great success. I used playing cards to cover the card sheet. We also have trouble with 8 & Ace. I spell Ace and say the number 8. Oh and made the mistake of printing in black & white first off. Haha.
Our lastest game using the whiteboard is Going around the room each resident gives me a letter of the alphabet and I write it up on the board. They then have to make a sentence using each letter. Works really well for us.
Absolutely love this site. I have a lady who just started to work at activities, I have introduced her to some of your activities on the site and she is doing a wonderful job and absolutely loving it as much as I do. Thank you so much Golden Carers!
