Involving residents with dementia in light movement activities is crucial for their well-being. Table games like skittles and the penguin stacking game can be a perfect solution! These engaging games, conveniently packaged in clear zippered bags, can encourage gentle movement while offering a fun and social activity for seniors.
Games Should be Practical
Memory Lane Therapy knows the struggles activity directors face. Larger Skittles games can be cumbersome – setting them up, chasing the ball, and constantly resetting the pins gets tiring! Here’s where our new tabletop Skittles set comes in.
This compact set is perfect for table play! With only 6 sturdy, soft-padded pins, it’s easy to manage and keeps the fun focused. Imagine setting your residents around the table, placing the skittles down, and letting the games begin!
The first player rolls the ball towards the pins. As pins fall, they’re set aside, and the player keeps rolling until all pins are down. Here’s where the fun truly starts! Another resident behind the skittles can collect the ball and pins, rolling them back for the next player. Sometimes, the ball might veer off, but no worries! Other residents can easily grab it and roll it back, fostering a sense of teamwork.
The Beauty of these Table Games
Laughter and friendly competition fill the air as everyone gets involved. No one has to sit idly by – everyone participates! The joy is contagious, attracting other residents to join in the fun. It’s a fantastic way to promote social interaction and light movement.
The stackable Penguin game is another winner! Some residents might prefer to stand and throw, and the tabletop format allows for just that. Both table games are highly recommended by Memory Lane Therapy – get ready for smiles and laughter!
