We had our own variation of mini Olympics today. We joined a staff member up with a resident and they competed as a team. We changed out tug of war and balloon between the knees and replaced them with 3 ring quoits and a 10 word search. With the backwards race the staff had to do the course and the resident had to tell them what direction to go. Everyone had so much fun. Thanks for the ideas
Thank you Golden carers for all the great ideas. My residents really enjoy the quizzes and some of the craft activities. They especially want "This day in history". I try to make it a morning ritual after the newspaper reading. This month there are so many great ideas for St Patrick's day, many I have printed off to use. I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's day. Here is my beautiful cat, she is much more photogenic than me!
