Target shooting game
Some seniors may have played shooting gallery or target games at festivals, don’t you think? This time, we’ll introduce a simple “target game” you can make with paper cups.
Cut out the bottom of a paper cup, tie off a balloon, cut off its tip, and stretch it over the cup.
With that, you’ve created an easy tool to launch small balls at targets.
Line up paper cups to create the targets.
Drawing illustrations on the target cups or decorating them with stickers will enhance the atmosphere.
It’s also great to have seniors participate from the crafting stage.
You can expect benefits for finger dexterity and brain training.
It’s a game that may help them recall fond memories of playing target games.
In conclusion
Paper cups, which are easy to find even at 100-yen shops, offer a wide variety of craft options. Crafting uses the fingers extensively and stimulates the brain, which can help prevent dementia or slow its progression. Please use these activities to help older adults feel a sense of accomplishment upon completion and enjoy more fulfilling days.
