Any age is good for improving, continuing to learn, or practicing what we like or are good at. Regardless of our age, we can all continue to enjoy learning through play: work with sequences, make associations, stimulate the senses, recognize emotions or train memory.
We have selected the following materials and games that can help in case of having any kind of difficulty, or if you want to train or improve any specific skill in a fun, enjoyable and sharing experiences with the rest of the family or friends. What are we playing today?
Older people deserve constant attention and feel appreciated, important and, above all, active. For this last objective, specific leisure activities for the elderly are perfect. Among these activities that can be designed to provide the best quality of life to our elders, the collective activities that allow them to socialize stand out.
The participation of the elderly in recreational activities is also of enormous importance in the relational aspect; it is very important that the elderly person feels that he or she continues to belong to society as an active and valuable element of it. Sun, fresh air and good company are the right combination to promote good mood and health. In fact, it is a good idea to organize recreational activities for older people outdoors, as long as the games do not require excessive physical expense.
Recreational activities for older people can promote their physical and mental activity. Each game must be calibrated according to its physical and psychological capabilities, which serves to avoid fatigue or demotivation. In addition, the goals of these hobbies for older people should be those of socialization and entertainment, as well as prevention and delaying impairment. It is also advisable to diversify recreational activities so that older people can have the opportunity to experience new ways of having fun. In general, games and activities should encourage a serene and cheerful mood, improve older people's self-esteem and physical mobility, and avoid an overly sedentary lifestyle.
Another problem affecting the elderly is memory loss. To combat its effects, specific games have been created to promote and preserve it and, in the case of cognitive impairment pathologies, to delay its effects. The hobbies and board games specially created for the elderly are very varied, as can be seen in the catalogue here.
Other games and activities for the elderly, much appreciated by geriatric patients, may be the creation of figures with molding paste or clay. This particular activity relaxes the mood, improves concentration and triggers the imagination of older people through the development of creativity, in addition to working on motor skills.
