StevieRay 0 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Great ideas! I like using virtual jeopardy and word competitions to engage seniors, residents and students in isolation/quarantine. For example, you can give everyone a word and have them write down as many words as they can find/make with the letters in the word. Whoever finds the most words gets a token or star, for example. Choose a new word for the activity each day and then, at the end of the week, the person with the most token wins some sort of reward or prize. I like this activity because it's a great way to exercise the brain and (re-)recognize common letter combos such as consonant and vowel pairs, patterns, prefixes, and suffixes. I actually recently created an anagram solving guide detailing helpful strategies to reorganize words to form new words. You may find it beneficial when explaining the exercise and providing tips: https://www.crosswordsolver.com/anagram-solver/unscramble-letters-guide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelersGirl 0 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 We have a facility wide quarantine so I'm kind of at a stand still with ideas. I am new to this facility but not the job and it is hard because I know nothing about the residents here and the staff are already worn out. Somebody help me please!
