\"Senior<\/p>\n

Celebrate the men in your facility on International Men\u2019s Day<\/strong>, which falls on November 19th each year, by providing a fun-filled day of activities that target the men in your facility. Here are a few activities to consider:<\/p>\n

Chit Chatting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get the men socializing with one another with a fun game of Toss-n-Talk \u2013 Men\u2019s Edition<\/a><\/strong>, where the men toss the ball back and forth while answering the questions on the ball.<\/p>\n

Crafting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Plan some craft activities that would catch the interest of the men in your facility, such as sports themed crafts. If they are following football this season, they can decorate football helmets<\/strong><\/a>, or make sand art<\/strong><\/a>. You can also include some dimple wood crafts as an alternative, like this eiffel tower<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Competing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Provide the men with model planes<\/a><\/strong> to decorate before flying them to see whose plain travels the farthest.<\/p>\n

Reminiscing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Supply the men with unfinished classic cars<\/a><\/strong> that the men can paint and decorate as they reminisce about their favorite classic cars of yesteryear. They can also decorate a motorcyle craft kit<\/a><\/strong> or mini race cars<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Playing Catch<\/strong><\/p>\n

Invite the men to play a fun game of catch using a catch ball disc set<\/a><\/strong>, in which the men can toss and catch balls back and forth in your Activity Room. Another alternative is this hand mitt catch set<\/a><\/strong> or involve a group and use this Toss Four Game.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
