2016-03-01 07:32:20 PM theresar We have Shortcut Bingo. It's like Jingo. The spaces are pictures and we give them clues to solve.
2016-03-01 07:32:20 PM jackie26 they like the regular bingo
2016-03-01 07:32:22 PM morgan5115 why not allow bingo?
2016-03-01 07:32:24 PM shensle fridays we cant cause its shabbos in the building so there isnt any real activities going
2016-03-01 07:32:25 PM kgates I used to do two activities in the evenings too. But then I noticed I was working and the cna's were just standing around watching so I talked with the nurse manager and she arranged to have them take over the activity by picking one of the float people, to do the activity after supper, whcih actually helped them to slow people down after supper and the call light problem stopped. So it works to ask for help from staff especially if your working all day already.
2016-03-01 07:32:30 PM morgan5115 ours like regualar bingo as well
2016-03-01 07:32:30 PM shensle on

2016-03-01 07:33:19 PM jennyw my facility only has night activities a few nights a week because we're limited the amount of hours in the department. It kills me that something like $ limits keeping the residents happy/occupied more than a few nights a week. But during the day we are fully staffed in activities
2016-03-01 07:33:19 PM sue123 I asked about buying a parachute and building said no, too expensive . then I found two in closets tucked away. We have been having fun with them.

2016-03-01 07:33:51 PM lynnd Jango, probably, the stacking tower of blocks...
2016-03-01 07:33:56 PM morgan5115 we put up our independent living calendar which has things each night..that generally covers us for state regs
2016-03-01 07:33:56 PM shensle yeah we have seven days a week just 5 nights
2016-03-01 07:33:58 PM jackie26 i do 7 days a week, but only one night
2016-03-01 07:34:00 PM jaiken My residents don't care for crafts, arts & painting or board games

2016-03-01 07:34:10 PM tlgst16 Jingo is wonderful. We have about 10 different sets. If you're residents like bingo, they most likely would enjoy jingo. It's bingo with pictures.

2016-03-01 07:34:16 PM summermurphy The facility that I visited takes residents to the Senior Center for outings

2016-03-01 07:35:32 PM sue123 jaiken: what is wrong with the word Bingo, why do they not like it. I have a resident call the numbers and she has fun with them.

2016-03-01 07:36:37 PM tlgst16 Pokeno is bingo, however instead of calling numbers you use a deck of cards and those are what they cover.
2016-03-01 07:36:38 PM tonic Ours start at 9:00 a.m.

2016-03-01 07:37:53 PM kgates If your bingo balls ever break, crack or get lost, use ping pong balls for backups. Otherwise you have to pay for a whole new set. When you may just need one or two.

2016-03-01 07:42:11 PM morgan5115 the recipes are great as well
2016-03-01 07:42:12 PM kgates I think the residents should decide what hours they want activities to take place.
2016-03-01 07:42:13 PM jennyw Today was the primary's for my state (Massachusetts) and I've spent the last 2 months getting the absentee ballots ready for voting just wondering what everyone else has been doing for absentee ballots for the residents.
2016-03-01 07:42:13 PM maribel yes jeapardy is very popular they love to watch and play
2016-03-01 07:42:16 PM tonic iN2L is AMAZING! I absolutely love it!
2016-03-01 07:42:22 PM kathyhughes you can also make your own Jeopardy game online
2016-03-01 07:42:24 PM theresar My residents love cards. Uno, especially. The ones that still have trouble playing we just switch to playing the next color...and don't worry aobut the number or symbol. LRC would be too hard for my memory residents to do.

2016-03-01 07:48:23 PM michellep007 I think bingo with chickens sounds fun!!
2016-03-01 07:48:26 PM kgates 12 and under is a fun dice game with lots of participation, always a crowd. All you need is a white board the numbers 1-12 written accrosss the top. and the residents names on the left column. They roll the dice, if they get a one and two you x those out. You do it for everyone until someone has all their # covered in x's they get a prize. Its great for socialization, hand eye coordination, counting, adding and laughing.
