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.

The weather is getting warmer, and it’s a great season to get moving.

Some adult day care and other senior facilities may even be holding sports days, don’t you think?

You’ll want to create lovely wall decorations that help build excitement for the event.

So this time, we’re introducing ideas for sports day decorations you can make as a recreation activity.

If you make them while chatting about sports day with the seniors around you, the crafting time will be enjoyable too.

Decorating the walls with pieces you’ve made yourself adds vibrant color, fosters a sense of attachment to the facility, and can help create emotional stability.

Translucent Garland

Even prettier when the light hits it! Make a translucent garland and add a splash of color to the sports day scenery.

Use semi-transparent design paper that lets you see through to the other side.

Stack several pieces of design paper cut into rectangles of different lengths, then puff them up into a three-dimensional shape that looks like an onion.

Secure the edge while it’s puffed, and you’ve completed one piece.

String multiple pieces vertically, and you’re done.

Switching up the patterns or sizes of the design paper will boost the style factor even more.

Let’s brighten up the venue with a classic wall decoration: paper chain garlands! Cut origami paper into long strips, make them into loops, and connect them in a chain.

You’ve probably seen these at birthday parties.

They’re so simple to make that you can whip some up in your spare moments.

You can go all out and hang tons of them, or get creative by using the chains as lines to draw motifs like “flowers” or “the sun.” Choosing patterned paper will add even more personality!
