I did a fishing tournament w/ my residents. It was a lot of prep but the outcome was rewarding to watch. Materials Needed: Fish floaties Hot glue little magnets strings (fishing line) Stick (fishing rods) Water in Tub Hot glue magnets to fish and put another magnet at the end of the fishing line, tie the line to the rods. Have resident sit around the tub w/ little floating fishes and try to catch fishes. You can have coolers of drinks and music to the side. FUN! FUN! AND FUNNY at the same time.
I love this site, there is always an idea, quiz or craft that I can use or modify for my programs. After 35 years as an Activation Coordinator/Senior Facilitator, I am now semi-retired and running programs for individuals and small groups on Zoom (Mind Challenge/Theme Conversations & Your Story).
Love the forum idea and can see it being a real support to each other - wonderful to see the smiling faces, caring and positive attitudes that this field endangers!
Congratulations and thanks to the Golden Carers Team for a professional and well designed website that is internationally useful and user friendly!
