[For Seniors] Crowd-Pleasers! Recommended Songs Everyone Can Enjoy Together in October
At senior care facilities and similar settings, let’s try singing songs that reflect the season.
This time, we’ll introduce songs with an October theme.
We’ve chosen a wide range, from children’s songs to popular tunes.
Some seniors may recall singing them in childhood or hearing them after entering the workforce.
From there, conversations may naturally expand.
Singing also helps with oral exercises.
Even those who are reluctant to sing can still enjoy participating in the recreation through hand clapping and other activities—there are many ways to have fun.
