All-Star Chorus Battle: Champions! 🏆✨ A massive chorus of “A Bouquet Filled with Love”! #AllStarChorusBattle #MillionViewsChoir #FujiTV

It’s a hugely popular song that lets you soak in the bubbly, youthful feeling of early love from your younger days.

Try expressing your personal image of “October” freely on paper!

Making tofu desserts

Cheap and delicious! A fluffy cake made with tofu

Making desserts is also recommended in the hearty appetite season of autumn! If you use tofu as the main ingredient and substitute Lakanto for sugar, it’s a healthy choice, right? The method itself is very simple, and it seems even easier if you have a blender or hand mixer.

People often say that cooking is good brain exercise because you think about steps and efficient ways to prepare things! It’s wonderful that it’s delicious and fun, and can even serve as rehabilitation!

Ghost Scooping Game

Ghost Scooping Game - Day Service Recreation

Here’s a game that treats plastic bags like little ghosts.

Have older adults sit in chairs and use a stick made from newspaper to scoop up plastic bags placed on the floor.

Then have them place the scooped bags into a bowl set on the chair.

This game helps strengthen the biceps on the front of the upper arm.

It’s perfect for people who find it difficult to bring food to their mouth with a spoon, too.

Since it uses familiar items, it’s easy to do in short breaks.

Because they’re “ghosts,” it could be fun to add eyes and a mouth to the plastic bags.

It’s also great as a Halloween-season activity.

There’s no such thing as ghosts.

[Song] “There’s No Such Thing as Ghosts” [Takashi’s Hand-Play • Children’s Song] Japanese Children’s Song, Finger Play Songs

This activity involves moving your body to the lyrics of the children’s song “Obake nante nai sa,” which expresses feelings about ghosts.

The movements are simple and match the lyrics, and a key point is that you can do them while sitting in a chair or even while singing.

Since the song portrays both insisting that there are no ghosts and being scared, paying attention to facial expressions can make it even more enjoyable.

Not only using your hands but also moving your entire upper body side to side helps you feel the rhythm in your body and enhances the sense of fun.
