How can my group members interact with the residents?

It is important to resource your play experience with items/toys that can support creating wonderful memories. Ideas on what you could include to support your group members to interact with residents can be found below:

  • books for reading together 
  • playing with playdough 
  • saying hello and goodbye to the residents 
  • singing songs together 
  • puzzles/blocks/balls/felt boards 
  • sensory activities 
  • encourage children to help hand out the musical instruments to residents for music time.
