I work in a 24 bed ALF and my residents absolutely LOVE scavenger hunts! Thank you for the additional ideas posted here. For Christmas I picked up 5 stuffed elves from the dollar store and hid them throughout the facility. I changed the locations daily for 4 days and gave them a sheet to write each day where they were located. Then they all turned in their sheets and I drew a name for a prize. They were so active and somewhat competitive and hounded me for new locations early each day! I am planning a poker run activity this month which will be somewhat in the realm of a scavenger hunt. I hope they enjoy it!
I can't thank Golden Carers enough for all the ideas and tips being launched regularly. I am so glad I became a member of this site and can bring smiles and joy to my clients. Now more laughter and giggles will spread in the AIR!!
