CRAFTS! Looking for some ideas for great crafts! I feel like I have done so many crafts that my brain is fried and nothing on pinterest stands out anymore. What crafts have you done that your residents loved?! Even better if you have a picture! My residents are in supportive living, so they are pretty capable of anything! Thanks in advance!
I'm also in Canada! Inter-generational activities are awesome if you can organize a day care or youth group to come in and play games, do a craft, or read with your seniors. Music bingo, baking, ring/ bean bag toss are also good.
I am an activity convener in Alberta, Canada and I am interested in starting a pen pal/ email relationship with a seniors facility in a different country. Ideally I think Australia would be great as I could tie in an arm chair travel session to Australia. I have about 70 residents, higher functioning. Would anyone be interested?
I am loving the Golden Carers membership. I am finding great resources that I used on the first day of membership. The membership is of much value working as both an Activities Director, and also an Activities Consultant. I look forward to continuing to use the site and also the forum.
