I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

Halloween season is a special time that brings smiles to everyone.

Halloween exercises are gaining attention as recreational activities you can enjoy with older adults while moving your body.

With a little creativity, anyone can join in easily—whether it’s a jerky ghost dance, simple routines using rock-paper-scissors hand shapes, or seated choreography.

Why not move to the music and enjoy that unique blend of spookiness and fun? This time, we’re introducing some extra-special exercises to liven up the Halloween season.

Fun Ghost Exercise

Even when we say “ghosts,” their types and shapes are varied, and each one may have its own personality like humans do.

This song focuses on such ghostly personalities, featuring a cute character: a timid ghost.

The choreography centers on extending both arms together to portray a ghost, while trembling motions and holding one’s head express its fearfulness.

With its light, buoyant rhythm, enjoy moving your body while carefully capturing the worldview of the lyrics.

Calisthenics are an easy and gentle way for older adults to exercise without strain.

They’re especially recommended to help alleviate a lack of physical activity.

In October, let’s enjoy moving to music for the fun Halloween season.

Arashi’s “Monster” is a great song choice with a Halloween-friendly vibe.

Many senior care facilities and day services hold Halloween events with costumes, right? Doing calisthenics in costume is also recommended.

Exercising while dressed up and in a festive mood is sure to liven things up.

It can also help promote communication with others through the activity.

Please use these ideas as inspiration and have a great time.
