My name is donnye and in answer to your question>

Well It depends on what level they are at. Most all will respond to music. I have a game after my regular exercise class where I take all of my residents present and put them into a circle and then I take 2 cheap kiddy kick balls and get them going in the middle of the circle the more with it players will kick it around and then you will see the ones that don't respond to anything else will get startled by the ball and start to pay attention to it and pretty soon before you know it they are kicking and laughing. It really does stimulate them. You can do the same kind of game with a big balloon and let them play volley ball with it. But I think the soccer version works better. Wheel of fortune is a good game to play but play it as a group so they can help each other.
