This was the first session after the launch and we had about 15 members which also included some people from the local community.
Lisa set up a few games as members were arriving and one of the members who used to be a keen golfer decided to try the Putting Golf which he enjoyed.
Lisa then welcomed everyone and started with playing the music ‘She’ll Be Coming Round the Mountain’ which got everyone singing.
This was followed by a quick game of calling out a couple of words from a sentence which made up a SAYING and asking everyone to complete the sentence for example – An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
It was then time for James Le Bec our music entertainer who as usual gets everyone excited. He played some music which stirred up memories and then followed with his special quiz of name that song. His dice is also a great favourite as members enjoy throwing it to try and get a six. There’s always a way of course to help the dice land with a six!
Everyone always enjoys the session with James. The session then followed with some OM interactive and those members who did not see the OM interactive before were very impressed by the variety of games.
It was lovely to see smiles and joy around the table. A very successful first session.
Thank you to all the Carlton Court carers and activities coordinators who helped throughout the session and thank you also to Mark and Lisa.
