While COVID-19 continues to affect care homes and those people who are having to shield themselves, we understand that the need for good health and wellbeing is ever important.
That's why Activities to Share have put together a range of ideas to help keep minds and bodies active, while staying at safe distances.
We have carefully selected a range of activities that are easy to clean by wiping with sanitiser or are fully washable in soapy water. Such as Pentominoes - plastic geometric shapes that can be arranged in a wide array of patterns, or Story Starter Cubes - roll the dice and see how long you can keep a story going?
We have taken the guesswork out of games that can be played apart or individually to enable safe distancing.
