This christmas activity manual for seniors is a 200-page PDF resource covering Christmas and New Year themes. It is aimed at activity coordinators and carers working in aged-care settings who need ready-to-use session material across a range of formats and ability levels.
What’s included
The manual covers a broad mix of activity types suited to both individual and group sessions. It includes activity book ideas for adults that can be printed selectively, so coordinators can pull only what they need for a given session without printing the full document.
- Christmas and New Year trivia, facts, and quizzes
- Brainteasers including crosswords and word games
- Christmas craft instructions
- Christmas food and drink recipes
- Social and recreational games, including a picture bingo suitable for individuals living with dementia
- Supplied as an emailed PDF — no physical delivery
- Trivia session: Read Christmas and New Year facts aloud to a small group and invite residents to answer or share related memories — works well as a low-pressure conversation starter.
- Crossword or word game: Print individual crossword or word game pages for one-to-one sessions or as a quiet independent activity.
- Picture bingo: Print and distribute the picture bingo cards for a group game — particularly useful for residents living with dementia who may find image-based formats more accessible than number bingo.
- Craft session: Select a craft activity from the manual and print the instructions as a handout for a structured group craft session in the lead-up to Christmas.
- Cooking or reminiscence activity: Use the food and drink recipes as a basis for a cooking session or a reminiscence discussion about Christmas traditions and favourite festive foods.
