I am working on activities for Older Americans Month in May. I designed a Bingo game that can be used for the month, if desired. I went to: http://smallstep.gov/ga/take_small_steps_today.html to get ideas for the Bingo game.
The game has 25 activities to promote better health. You can offer prizes for completing a row, column or diagonal line. If your participants complete all 25 spaces in May, you could post their names on a bulletin board or maybe have a special prize. If prizes are limited, sometimes we have to get creative like having a potluck and winners would be the guests of honor. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEAS FOR PRIZES? PLEASE SHARE THEM WITH US!!!!
If you would like a copy of the game handout, please e-mail me at j.carroll@hughes.net and I will send you an e-mail with the Bingo game attached.
Let us know how this works for your group and if you have any suggestions.
Ideas for SilverSneakers instructors or others teaching classes for active older adults who want to be fit and have fun! Topics include: balance, fall prevention, jokes, poems, healthy aging, exercises and more.
