Hello! I work in assisted living community. We are doing games in our halls. Residents sit in thier doorway and do activities we such as: * BINGO (using printable BINGO cards) *Yahtzee (We purchased several sets of dice, so that each resident wanting to play has a set, and sanitize the dice after we finish playing on the hall has a set) *Sing A Longs *Trivia *Bible Study I plan on trying exercises this way tomorrow.
I also printed several games and activities such as: crosswords, word search, Sudoku, coloring pages, I spy We are having contests for each game with prizes. You can also order crafts that come in individual packets to hand out. I am teaching residents individually to set up and use any form of social media that enables them to keep in contact with family and friends. Also our library is a great source. Not only can you rent books but also movies and cds at no charge! Since our residents usually get out twice a week to shop but are unable to at this time I am also getting lists and shopping for the items they need to help keep them happy. Hope I helped and good luck to everyone during this time.
This is my go to site. I have looked at the others, but Golden Carers has a sense of fun and creativity that makes the activities we do enjoyable for all. They are adaptable for all levels. We did the Olympic Day and had a blast. Everyone got up and participated !!! Thank you.
