Indoor Recreation

Hello there seniors!
If you're looking for things to do without having to leave your home then today’s blog will be of great help to you. Some of the amazing indoor recreational activities are:

• Puzzles:A regular feature in the newspaper everyday, puzzles have a capacity to involve you for hours together, as they can be very addictive.
• Scrapbooking: Gathering your photos and mementos together in one place is a fun walk down memory lane. Even better, it helps you organize your treasures.
• Journaling: Try writing your thoughts down in a book for emotional therapy or as creative exercise. Who knows? You might even discover a hidden talent for writing. Maybe the next great American novel is hiding in your head!
• Tap dancing: Who says indoor activities have to be sedentary? Put on those dancing shoes and boogie!
• Board Games: Who said board games are for children? If you do have a companion, whether it is a partner, friend, neighbour, servant, or a grandchild who is willing, playing Ludo, Carrom, chess, Chinese checkers and even cards is a great idea.
• Breakfast, lunch, or dinner club: Gather a group of friends and meet on a regular basis for meals and good conversation.
• Jewellery making: Even if you're a beginner, it's easy and fun to string beads onto cord to make necklaces and bracelets. After you've mastered the basics, you can expand your skill set.
• Zumba Gold: If tap dancing isn't your thing, but you still love dancing, sweating, and burning calories, try Zumba Gold. Zumba's a high energy Latin-inspired dance workout, and the Gold variety was designed with seniors in mind. You can find these classes at gyms, community centers, and dance schools.
• Take a computer class at your local college or university: Find out what the big deal is with social networking, how to burn CDs, how to purchase the best computer, and more.
• Work on your memoir or learn to write poetry: You can locate how-to books at your local library or book store or enrol in a class that will teach you the basics and get you started.
