When it comes to family day in senior living communities, TerraBella Lake Norman has several ideas on how to spice up the occasion, to make it not only enjoyable but memorable for the whole family. Some of these have been put to practice, while others are still in the ideation stage. Some are easy to pull off and incredibly rewarding, others are tougher but no less worth doing. At the end of the day, what matters for senior living communities is that families have mingled, enjoyed each other’s company as well as their neighbors’. It does not take much to make family day a day worth remembering.
Family Cook-Off
Organize a cook-off between families! Whichever family puts together a meal that would garner the approval of Gordon Ramsey wins. Share the wondrous creations put together by all, dig in, and savor them. Take this opportunity to bond over food and exchange cooking tips with each other.
Movie Marathon
Are you feeling like a couch potato? Take a seat and watch a movie marathon. Screen shows from the 80s and 90s, relive the nostalgia and then introduce yourselves to modern shows. Marvel at how far technology has come and debate whether things have changed for the better or worse… Regardless, it is sure to be a great time to unwind.
Karaoke
Sing and let your voices soar. This does not have to be a family exclusive activity. Sing-off with others from the living community. Introduce new songs to the little ones and revive nostalgia in the hearts of all. It does not matter how well you sing, only that everyone enjoys themselves.
The Great Outdoors
If your family is feeling up for it, organize a trip to the great outdoors. Invite other families from the living community along, or just go for it alone for some exclusive family time. Go on a hike, enjoy the sights, and sounds of National Parks. Go fishing, and let the younger ones grow some patience waiting for fish to bite. Close off the day with a snug campfire, where stories can be exchanged over marshmallows or barbecues. The possibilities are endless.
Fun and Games
If the outdoors are too much for your family, play simple sports and games with others in the community. Certain sports are accessible to all ages and are just as fun to the young and the old.
Reading Night
Close off a memorable family day with a reading night. Sit back and relax, play chess with others in the community or just read a book. Read to the little ones and watch their eyes beam in wonder and fantasy. It has been a long day, and the family justly deserves the time to unwind.
