Parties, Games, Holiday Celebrations, Trips Among ideal Community Activities for Seniors
from: Pat MoauroAs a senior citizen, you can look forward to a wide mix of enjoyable community activities. Community activities are a great way to relieve boredom, to take part in social activity, to challenge the mind and to stay physically active. But what kind of activities should you participate in?
Events involving community activities and seniors are usually posted on a community bulletin board and/or flyers sent out to all residents. Examples of community activities and seniors include:
* Monthly birthday parties to which all residents are invited. Families and friends may be invited to participate. A community may hold birthday parties, wedding celebrations and baby showers for members of the residents' family as well.
* Celebration of various holidays. Holidays are particularly difficult times for those away from their own homes, families, and friends. Valentine's Day, Halloween, Christmas, Hanukah, Easter, and Memorial Day are a few examples. This will help to keep depression, sadness and boredom from setting in for many people who may be away from their friends and family.
* Games. These are great for one-to-one relationships and group activity. Bingo is a favorite for many, but bridge, chess, and other games for smaller groups usually are available.
* Outdoor activities include gardening, cookouts, or just enjoying time in the sun alone or with a friend.
* Trips and tours to community events. Some homes have a special residents' fund, with proceeds from the sale of arts and crafts made and sold by the residents to finance transportation rentals and ticket purchases.
* Exercise fun and physical fitness. Community leaders often volunteer to lead yoga or other exercise sessions. Even wheelchair-bound residents of the community can participate.
* Arts and crafts programs separate from occupational therapy frequently are offered by the activities coordinator.
Community activities and seniors might also participate in various religious activities, depending on the religion. Or they might meet in the community after a church time or some other specific meeting time and place. Community activities are important to seniors. Most find it fun and healthy to have people around them. That's why it's important to have something planned in their schedule. It provides residents with an opportunity to see and talk to people, and something useful to do.
