So, here is an idea that most activity directors etc. have probably already done. However, I am going to share it anyway.
Many years ago i put together this game for Valentine's day. And every now and again we try to play it.
This year we had students from a neighboring school visit on Valentine's day. So, I drug the bottles out of the basement & gave it a go again. & this time it went quite well. So, I would say that it's a good game to play when you have plenty of help.
This is just a simple version of spin the bottle. I decorated my bottles, but that certainly isn't a must do.
We use candy kisses of course. The cards are from a reminiscing game, Shake Loose a Memory, I think. The cards have things like "keep this card if you've ever baked a cake from scratch" on them.
With spin the bottle, we just changed the verb-age - "Get a kiss if you've ever ...."

You could make up your own cards for continuity of the game if you wanted. I've just never been that motivated.
You could also use trivia cards or you could do something like a name 3 game - where the person has to name 3 types of pie or whatever. You could also have the person roll dice and name ... i don't know... 5 types of birds or whatever. Then she could get 5 candy kisses. Your residents would like that.
They usually like candy. And again if you feel motivated, you could make up cards for that.
Anyway - the bottles took a long time and a bit of decoupage for me to make. So, I guess I just wanted to show them off. ;)
Thanks for reading. Feel free to leave suggestions, questions &/or comments.
