As we enter April, the temperature is gradually getting warmer.

Perhaps more older adults are becoming active, too.

However, suddenly increasing activity can raise the risk of falls and be dangerous.

It’s best not to overdo it and to start moving your body little by little.

Some staff members may also be looking for recreational activities that are safe and enjoyable.

In this article, we’ll introduce recreational activities that older adults can do with peace of mind.

We’ve included spring-themed singing exercises, games, and brain-training activities, so please use them as a reference!

Spring evokes the image of landscapes becoming vividly colored with flowers and animals starting to move more actively.

This craft, themed around flowers and honeybees, conveys the lively energy of both creatures and plants as they come to life.

Use a variety of colors for the flowers and get creative with folding and cutting techniques to represent different kinds of blossoms.

It’s important to make it look like many flowers are in bloom to fully convey the uplifting feeling of spring.

Adding creases to the flowers and bees to create a three-dimensional look is also recommended to enhance their brilliance.
