We have all sorts of sizes, colors and even can do letters to personalize gifts for their friends and family!
Bingo
Bingo is, along with Karaoke, our FAVOURITE activity!
We play 2 games of Bingo per session. Participants earn chips for winning the 1st Bingo, for being the 1st with 4 Bingos and for being the 1st with a blackout!
After every game, participants ca go to our Bingo Store, where they can get all sorts of small prizes (thank you to all of our donors!).

Drum Circle
Throughout the years we’ve gotten donations of great musical instruments! We have congas, tambourines, bells, maracas, and even a couple of banjos!
For our Drum Circles, we all sit together on our side room and play games like “Green Light, Red Light” where we try to make a lot of noise and then try to become suuuuper silent for that red light.
Floor Bowling
When we had to stop going to our regular bowling at the Bowling Alley because of the pandemic, we got some plastic pins and balls and created this mini-version of the game that we can play in one of our classrooms and still have tons of fun.
This is a physically intense activity for staff, so we’re always super happy when volunteers come help with repositioning pins and chasing balls!
Healthy Snack Class
Healthy foods can be delicious too! Our staff surfs the internet for inspiration and comes up with great and easy recipes we can do together as a group.
We incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables, and try to keep them interesting and unique so we never get tired of this activity.

We have you covered when it comes to dad jokes! We encourage participants to tell us their great jokes and funny stories. We also have a few books with some of our favorites.
Karaoke
This karaoke is the real deal! We have a stage with lights, microphones, curtains and we have our volunteers that do the DJ’ing for us!
Singing is completely optional and we only do karaoke in one of our two classrooms, so participants that need a more quiet space can always be on the other room doing crafts or engaging in side activities.
Each participant that feels like singing for us selects their own song, usually their most favorite song of all time!
