GAMES
FOR
SENIORS
Games for Seniors can Improve Quality of Life.
Games and activities can bring people together
in groups and enhance a sense of belonging and
participation.
When people share laughter through games together
it can help to bond people that otherwise feel no
personal connection.
Laughter has its own benefit but games can also
help improve memory, dexterity, reduce stress and
remove a sense of isolation. All because they threw
some bean bags together or beat their own high score
or finished a puzzle.

ACTIVITIES
FOR
IMPROVING
YOUR
HEALTH
Just because you’re retired doesn’t mean
you should ignore your health. And one of
the easiest ways to improve your overall
well-being is to do a little physical
activity or moderate exercise. Sounds like
a punishment, right? It doesn’t have to be!
There are many activities that can be pleasant
to both our health and our happiness.
Walking
Swimming
Yoga
These are just a few ideas to get up and move
around so take the time to both enjoy your life
and improve your health. Remember – if you can
include friends or family in the activity the
more enjoyment you are likely to get out of this.
Have fun and live well.

WHAT
CAN
SENIORS
DO
WITH
COMPUTERS?
For many, computers are a tool that allows
you to have a hobby. For example, you may
love to cook and therefore get recipes off
the Food Channel website.
What about computers for seniors?
What can seniors do with computers?
First of all, I’ll define seniors as anyone
over the age of 50. Why? Simply because you
can join AARP at age 50. But not matter your
age, using a computer for the first time can
be very frightening and intimidating.
So, what is the benefit of going the process
of learning a computer and what can a senior
do online?
1. Connect.
Social networking websites like Facebook
allow you to connect with all the people
you care about, no matter the physical
difference that divides you.
This is a free way (doesn’t cost money)
to stay in touch and update each other
about your lives. Plus you can share
photographs and even movies online.
There is no need to miss your grandkid’s
birthday. While you may not be there
physically, you can see the video of your
grandkids blowing out the candles on
their cake or opening the present you sent
them. This is a great way to stay in touch.
2. Find Hobbies.
Did you ever want to try something new? There
are millions of websites dedicated to every
possible subject so no matter what your
interests are it’s easy to find all the
information you need.
3. Blogging.
You have a lifetime of experience, ideas and
opinions. So why not share those with the world…
or just your family. A blog can be public or
private and can be a great way to express
yourself. Give it a try!
4. Shopping.
Have you ever wanted something that’s either
hard to find or not available locally. If it
was ever made chances are you can find it
online. Whether it’s collecting coins or
ordering a new TV, there are great discounts
online and often free shipping or no sales tax.
Plus you can compare items, which mystery book
has the best reviews or which power drill is
most reliable? Find all this and more online.
Plus most local libraries now offer free internet
access and computers. So if you are nervous about
learning or wonder how much you'll actually use
a computer, start at the library. You can always
decide to purchase later on if you really enjoy it.
These are just a few of the many reasons you should
take the time to learn the computer and internet.
The possibilities are endless and will help you
engage in more activities. No matter what your
interests or passions are in life you can find it
online.

AND
ACTIVITY
IDEAS
FOR
THE
ELDERLY
It's a pleasure to plan party
games and activities for seniors.
Whether you're planning a party or you're
simply looking for some group activities
for the elderly, the first thing you need
to determine is the limitation of your
party-goers or your group of senior citizens.
For instance, crafts make great party game
ideas, but someone who suffers from arthritis
in the fingers might be uncomfortable doing a
craft activity. Just like with any other group,
senior activities must be tailored to the
interests and abilities of the participants.
Once you know who will be attending the party,
you can begin taking such things into
consideration in your party planning.
