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?

Here's an interesting collection of things associated with the number 50

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. Here's a collection of slang- http://www.fiftiesweb.com/fashion/slang.htm
