I worked at a day service for seven years and obtained my Certified Care Worker qualification in 2019. I have provided meal assistance and bathing assistance, as well as led recreational activities that involve physical movement and cognitive stimulation. I enjoy drawing and crafting. My motto is: “With a smile, anything is possible!” and I try to live joyfully every day. I’m also doting on my beloved Chihuahua.

In this article, we introduce super exciting team-based recreational activities for older adults!

They might bring back nostalgic memories of your school sports days.

As the games progress, things can really heat up and turn into a thrilling competition!

Some activities can be done while seated or started with simple tools, so feel free to use these as a reference.

Making it a team competition might also be a chance to get friendly with people you don’t usually talk to.

We hope everyone has a great time together!

Let’s play a game called the ‘Straw Relay,’ where you blow on paper cups with a straw to move them.

Place two paper cups side by side, then set another cup on top of them.

Use a straw to gently blow on the base cups and move them little by little.

If you move one side too quickly, the top cup will fall off, so the trick is to move each side in turn, keeping a good balance.

Compete to see who can move them the farthest.
