[For Seniors] Introducing Recreational Activities Anyone Can Enjoy at Geriatric Health Facilities!

Rhythmic exercises to a children’s song

If you want everyone to have fun together, this is it! Rhythm activities to “Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree.” #musictherapy #musicactivity #dayservice #dayrec #recreation #seniors

Rhythm exercises set to children’s songs are a wonderful idea.

If you lift your legs and arms or clap along to the song “Antagata Dokosa,” you can enjoy both fun and a sense of rhythm at the same time.

In particular, the method of lifting your foot on the syllable “sa” is a unique approach that can also help prevent dementia.

Incorporating it into a morning routine could be a refreshing way to start the day.

Children’s songs carry nostalgia and familiarity, so it’s sure to be an enjoyable moment.

If everyone sings together and moves their bodies, it will likely become a lovely time full of smiles.

365-Step March: Singing Exercise [Light Recreation Exercise for Cognitive Training and Senior Care Prevention]

Let’s try doing exercises while singing to kick off events and recreational activities.

If you use exercise routines set to music familiar to older adults, it’s easier for them to participate.

It also helps them recognize that the event or activity is about to begin.

Singing alone is fine, but adding exercises stimulates the brain and can help prevent cognitive decline.

The key is to incorporate movements inspired by the lyrics.

Visualizing the mood and scenes in the lyrics and recalling corresponding movements can also provide brain-training benefits.

Be sure to choose songs that older adults know, and add some exercises too.
