My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

For exercise activities in care facilities, you’ll want to include ideas that let everyone move safely and enjoyably.

This time, we’re introducing ideas that are easy and safe to enjoy.

Target-focused activities like putter golf and strikeout, and balloon volleyball that tests teamwork.

People might get really into it and the matches could heat up.

The time spent united, cheering each other on, naturally fills the room with smiles.

As everyone tries various activities together, enjoy a heartwarming time!

[Nursing Care Facility] Move Your Body to Relieve Stress! Irresistibly Engaging Exercise Activities (11–20)

[Senior Activity] We tried a “balloon volleyball” game using balloons and fans at our day service activity, and it was a hit (lol). Think we can manage 100 volleys?

Let’s try playing volleyball with balloons! Unlike regular balls, they’re safe, don’t hurt when they hit you, and are light and easy to handle.

Hitting with your hands is fun, but giving each person a fan to use like a racket and returning the balloon with it really gets everyone excited.

Using a balloon as the ball makes it light with a long hang time, which is great because it’s easy to track with your eyes.

The occasional quirky movement is another fun part of balloon volleyball.

It also sounds fun to count how many rallies you can keep going and aim for a new record.

In conclusion

Time set aside to move the body freely and without strain naturally brings smiles to participants’ faces. Let’s incorporate exercise activities into care facilities so that older adults can engage at their own pace without overexertion. How about sharing a warm moment that gently loosens both mind and body?
