Toss the Balloon

This activity can be done with a group in their chairs or between a patient and caregiver.

Use a simple balloon filled with air. Toss it in the air and bat it to another person using hands and feet.

It usually puts a smile on faces, it's easy, cheap, no one gets hurt and because the balloon falls so slowly, it allows time to touch it. My mom, who is 95 years old, loves this game.
