I have done an activity where we have labelled and decorated snow flakes with the word 'merry xmas' in many foreign languages. These snowflakes were then put on display in a communal area. Many residents would go past and try to pronounce the foreign word or even look for the one that represented their homeland. It also connected some of the care staff, whose second language is English, as they would look for 'their' snowflake.
Hi everyone. . I would like to offer variety in our exercise program and am wondering has or is anyone doing sit down yoga exercises. If so, would you be happy to share. Many thanks
Love all the great ideas. Love Golden Carers. I have used so many of your ideas since I started and all with great feedback with staff who like to join in too. What a difference I have seen in the residents, more joining in because of giving them time to express what they like to do and always offering for them to join in, whatever the activity. Having so much to offer but not overwhelming them, just a little at a time and someone will show their enthusiasm to give it a try. Thank you Golden Carers.
Merry Christmas in Different Languages
