| The goal of this themed series is to assist Activity Professionals and Caregivers in conducting a music program with ease and with little preparation, whether or not he or she is musically inclined. Consequently, the packages are user friendly, supplying everything, the format, music and singing (CD), reprintable lyrics to the songs, trivia questions with answers, dance movements with descriptions, as well as directions, "how to's" and encouragement. You don't have to research anything! You have an instant program, ready to go. Just use the Program Directions to organize a program taking the material from the various sections in the book. Because the book contains more than one hour's worth of information, many one-hour programs can be assembled following the Program Directions.
One of the advantages of these programs is that they can be conducted by one person and with varying levels of development depending upon the need. Each program can have additions of decorations, food in the theme, props, musical instruments, advance and follow-up activities. Suggestions for these additions are found in the book. The programs can also be just as much fun without the additions. Themed programs are fun not only for seniors, but also for visiting families and friends.
Each section of the book can also be used as a separate activity using the tab pages for easy access. The Musical Games section is one that lends itself to activities done outside the musical "show" format and the CD can be played for just sing-alongs or listening music. The section Suggested Decorations, Food, and Activities also contains some activities that can be done separately from a music program.
Be flexible. Have fun with it yourself and everyone else will have fun too! |
