activities for seniors

In order to keep the Senior Citizen active we can formulate certain recreational activities to keep them physically and mentally fit and keep them happy. We can try the following methodology whichever works depending upon the individual’s interest:

1. Seniors who are independent and active inside their home:

a. Explore the world via the world wide web- Computer games, facebook/twitter/emails/skype to stay connected with friends and families and make new friends with similar interests, whatsapp with friends and family, listen to the lectures/discourses/talks/songs of their interests in the computer or laptop with speakers attached

b. Start a Book Club – Read books with big fonts or magnifying glass or digital books with large fonts and discuss with the club members through a skype call or conference call about the characters in the book that they are focusing on.

c. Puzzle, board games ( chess, snake and ladder, chinese checker, scrabble),solitaire, jigsaw puzzle, carom board, cards etc.

d. Work from home if they are still able to do that for couple of hours a day

e. Write a letter or call someone and speak to them on several topics that are interesting for them.
