Cards and Dice & Everything Nice...?
We play a lot of card games at the care center I work at. They love them and I find giving things like card games a new spin gives the needed variety as well as keeping things familiar and interested in attending.
And ... I am in a mission to explore budget stretching stragies!
I had this thought to try and capture a months worth of activity with just common things we always have they they already know and love.
Do you think it would would it be possible to have a whole month of activities with just a few supplies and still keep it fun? I think so - but I have never actually tried it!
I want to challenge myself AND THIS COMMUNITY to plan 30 activities that can be done with nothing more than dice, card deck and a printed... Do you think we can do it?? Let's give it a try!
So far I have come up with:
- Design your own playing cards (or even suits)
- Card Bingo (create your own board with cards)
- Card scavenger hunt
- Spoons (this would require additional supplies but who doesn't have spoons?)
- Life size card bingo
- Musical cards (like musical chairs)
- Roll conversation questions
- Card draw exercise
- Roll a compliment
- Roll a story
- Cardio Cards
- Memory Matching cards
- Use cards to throw at a target or in a bucket
- Do we dare cut cards in 1/2 or 1/4 and put the whole deck mixed together and use it as a puzzle to get every card together? Too easy? Fun? Thoughts?
- Roll or draw a Rythem
Other bonus ideas:
- Sensory box from old games that have missing pieces?
Hmmm... As I am looking into this more I also found some YouTube videos I thought would be interesting. Should videos count as part of this challenge? What do you think?? Like I didn't know that there were so many variations in history of the card suits - would your groups want to know more about that?
I have 15 ideas can you come up with any additional ideas that residents would actually enjoy and engage in?? ♠️♣️♥️♦️🃏🎲
