With Holy Week (April 2-8) and Purim (March 6-7) during the Spring months, activity directors may be looking for some ideas to use at their nursing facility. Here are a few ideas from notjustbingo.com for incorporating religious themed activities into your calendar.<\/p>\n

\"religiousEncourage your Craft Club<\/strong> to use tissue paper and glue to make beautiful stained\u00a0glass\u00a0crafts. Use the finished pieces as works of art by taping them on a wall in your Activity Room. They can also use premade stained glass window clings<\/a><\/strong> for a simpler project.<\/p>\n

Invite your Beading Club<\/strong> to string beads into the shape of crosses<\/a><\/strong>. Consider making the beaded necklaces as Easter gifts to those who attend Easter Sunday services in your facility.<\/p>\n

Recruit your facility\u2019s <\/span>Men Club\u00a0<\/strong>to use tiles and glue to create colorful\u00a0<\/span>mosaic crosses<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that can be hung on the doors of your religious residents.<\/span><\/p>\n

For your Jewish residents who celebrate the Purim<\/strong> festival, assist them with making wood mezuzahs\u00a0to attach to their doorposts. Also,as an intergenerational craft, invite your residents to decorate Purim masks<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0with their grandkids.<\/p>\n

Finally, schedule a mess-free craft<\/strong> to do in the rooms of your bedridden residents like religious flags<\/a><\/strong>. Attach self-adhesive letters and crosses to the flags before hanging them in your residents\u2019 rooms for the holiday.<\/p>\n
