Hopefully this will help. Hi Rodeshia, Try memorystreets question and answer books for seniors. It helps break the ice and will keep your audience interested. We use them all the time at our facility. The website is www.memorystreets.com or give me your e mail or fax # and I will send you free sample pages to try with your residents. I bought some inexpensive fly swaters at the flea market or dollar store...blow up a balloon and play volleyball. It's fun, they love it! Make sure to play some good music.
