Hi, I"m brand new here and excited to be a part of Golden Carers. I"m really interested in doing scavenger hunts with my residence. I am preparing for March, yup always a couple of months ahead of current time. So i'm really interested in the St. Patricks Day scavenger hunt. But I have a couple of questions i'm hoping someone can offer suggestions on how they do scavenger hunts in their facility. So do I just put a picture of say the shamrock on the wall and the resident comes back to tell me they found the shamrock on the wall by the mailboxes. I would think they would bring something back to me? Like I print out 30 pictures of the shamrock and put in a little basket which they would bring back to me and do that for each item they are suppose to find? How do you guys do scavenger hunts in your facility? Any tips of things that work well or things that don't work are appreciated as well. Thanks so much, Chrissy
Ok I’m brand new, like just signed up. I’m trying to figure out this scavenger hunt works. Do you print out like 30 sheets of each item they are suppose to find, then they bring you back the worksheet for each item? Or do you tape a picture of one of the items say by the water fountain. Then they come and tell you they found the picture by the water fountain? Hope that makes sense,
So many great ideas in here. Glad to have found you, Golden Carers! Thank you for all the wonderful things you do to help all of us working with activities to better and to make our activities fun for our customers and us.
