Guest Guest Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 We are getting ready to celebrate our 50th Anniversary (the home I work for, not my spouse & I). Does anyone have any suggestions for activities that have to do with the number fifty, the decade of the fifties, or 50th anniversaries? What about decorating ideas?

Vikki 0 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Here's an interesting collection of things associated with the number 50 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_(number) If you want to do a 50s theme you could get some of those fake plastic 45 records and string them down from the ceiling, have a milkshake social, wear poodle skirts and bobby socks. There are a lot of great 50s karaoke CDs out, too. We hook the karaoke machine into the television and do it as a sing along since a lot of people don't want to sing by themselves on the microphone. Usually a staff person holds the mic and we all stand up in a group and lead it. The residents get a kick out of us hamming it up. There are probably some entertainers in the area who do music from the 50s. You could also do a trivia game about slang from the 50s.
