looking for ideas...

 I would love help coming up with easy games I can introduce to the elderly I volunteer for. I serve them a hot lunch at a church and would love to come up w/simple activities or read them something touching or funny just to help boost spirit. I thought of picking a # between 1-100, or # of mm's in jar and win a prize. I think it will be $5 gift cards so they can get what they want. I will be grateful for any and all suggestions and literature. LOVE AND LIGHT-SAHNDRA

Thank you for all of your ideas...I only have about a 5min. time slot to achieve this. I  thought of making their favorite desert recipe at random but have yet to achieve this as well. I will put out the request for recipes this next Monday.

Manu, Thank you about the advice for familiar music. Music is alway a gateway to the soul! 

says: evrything in this world is possible even the word 'IMPOSSIBLE' says I'M' POSSIBLE.....so keep u[p ur hard work and thanks for the cheers....

says:

sing! or get some tapes of music they like...music they listened to when they were young.  I did some volunteering work with elderly in the past, and I have to say that even the most grumpy ones used to join me when we sang old songs. it's great. you can even ask them to tell you what is their favourite song, so you can look it up for them.

 

 


 

Sending you a hug

Sending you  100 hugs, to be shared with your elderly friends ;-)

says: Sahndra, thanks for your comment on my blog yesterday. How about making them draw their faces. Use crayons so its safer :) let them draw like little kids :)

says:

That sounds a great idea!  Aren't you lovely devoting your time to the elderly?  I think that's great!  Smile

 

I love the M&M's idea!

 

Depending on what they like, you could always bring some cards in, not expensive and most people like to play cards.  You could get them all together to play Rummy, BlavkJack, whatever they all know.  And again you could have a prize if you want.  Even if the prize is just a cake, I'm sure they'd love it.  (Providing none of them are diabetic or not able to eat cake for any reason!).

 

I'll have a think and see if I can come up with anymore! 

 

 

You make me smile Well Done for being so nice and thinking of others!
