We have set up a horse racing game... The course is made up on a long roll of white craft paper. I took in some toy horses, the residents throw the dice and we move the horses for them!
Hi, I am the Lead Activities Coordinator in Royal Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, England. We have a few residents who would love to get involved. It is a 3 storey 64 bed home. One of my residents is 91 years old and has travelled the world as a flight engineer in the R.A.F. and he has such interesting things to say! My email address is [email protected] We would love to chat anyone in England or abroad
This is so lovely.... I am looking forward to making a tree of all our residents in our home for Christmas. I also just want to say what a wonderful site this is.... the residents are thoroughly enjoying the activities I am using from this site!!

Hi we have a blind resident who thoroughly enjoys painting with sponges and also her fingers. She will literally just run her fingers through it. If they are not keen on the paint on their hands you could put a pair of surgical gloves on them. You could also use pasta and paint and glue on a piece of card then they will experience the sensory side of it also.
So glad I found you, your site is such a blessing to me 😊. I have been a PCA for 17 yrs. I am in charge of making up the monthly calendar and coming up with new ideas. It was starting to be a real challenge. I encourage all my residents to join in daily but they need new things offered to hold their interest. So glad I took a chance and signed up with you!!! You're making my job a lot easier. Thank you and keep up the great work !! It's so appreciated.
