Lovely senior life

[For older adults] Music recreation that helps boost mood and improve health

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.

We’d like to introduce music-based recreational activities that can lift the spirits of older adults.

Listening to favorite songs or singing out loud can provide a change of pace and help relieve stress.

In this article, we present a variety of recreational ideas that use the music we encounter in everyday life.

Along with sing-alongs of children’s songs and simple exercises set to music, we’ve also gathered quiz-style activities that are fun like games.

If you’re planning music recreation for a senior facility or day service setting, please use these ideas as a reference.

[For Seniors] Music Recreation Activities (91–100) That Help Improve Mood and Health

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

Rhythmic exercises to a children's song

Rhythmic exercises set to children’s songs are a wonderful initiative.

Moving your arms and legs to the song “Antagata Dokosa” looks like so much fun.

For older adults, moving their bodies to nostalgic tunes can be a refreshing change of pace.

I’ve heard that lifting the leg on the “sa” beat can also help prevent cognitive decline.

If you include it as a morning exercise, it seems like you could spend the whole day feeling energetic.

Children’s songs are familiar to everyone, so it’s something people can enjoy together.

I think it’s a lovely activity that supports both the mental and physical health of older adults.
