. Lead a scrapbooking party - it could even go on for more than one event. Ask the residents to bring a few of their favourite photos - old, new, or both. Then they can do a nice layout that can become part of a bigger scrapbook, or framed to keep for themselves, or if it old photos of their youth or with their young family, to give as a gift.

2. A baking party. Many seniors miss having their own kitchen when they move into a residence. Make arrangements with the kitchen to reserve an hour or so, then the residents can group up, choose a simple recipes like cookies or cupcakes and have fun. They can share them with the other residents, or save some for when their family comes to visit.

3. A book club. Even seniors who can't see well enough to read can often borrow the book on tape from the library (make sure this is available when choosing a book).

4. See if you can get your local Girl Guides or Boy Scout units to come in for a visit. They could discuss what they are learning in their programs, sing camp songs, etc...

5. Walking club - see if you can organize a group to go out walking in the neighbourhood. Many seniors feel safer and more confident in a group setting, rather than heading out on their own.

6. An exercise club. Even if you don't have a teacher, there are videos that are you could follow with them that are specifically geared to seniors. Tai Chi and certain forms of Yoga are excellent for supporting their flexibility, strength and balance.
