Mother’s Day is fast approaching, so block your calendar on 12th May for a day of joy with your mother and elder women in the family. We have curated activities perfect for seniors to venture out of the house. These activities are ideal for both–spending quality time one-on-one or hosting gatherings with friends and family.
- Enjoy a lovely meal at a place they enjoy– it need not be fancy, only their favorite restaurant for a memorable meal over a puzzle or engage in a friendly game of cards or a board game, fostering camaraderie and mental agility.
- Go for an easy walk to a park nearby. If they are up for it– take a picnic basket with you.
- Visit a mall to watch people and window shop. Indoor malls have ample seating, bathrooms, several snacks and drink options, and controlled temperatures. A stroll through a mall is something all elders like.
- Sign up for an art of pottery or any other hobby workshop with your elder — or visit an art gallery and discuss their views on art.
- Prepare their favorite meal from scratch or order takeout from their preferred restaurant.
- Host a laid-back potluck gathering where each guest brings a dish to share. Spend leisurely hours chatting, munching on delicious food, and enjoying each other’s company in a relaxed atmosphere.
- Engage in a joint baking session or cooking activity, crafting beloved recipes together. Whether they actively participate in the cooking process, assist with simple tasks, or savor the flavors as your culinary co-pilot– it’s a delightful way to bond.
- Set the mood with their favorite tunes and indulge in a sing-along session or bask in the melodies together, relishing the joy of music.
- How about a shared reading experience? Select a book of their choosing and take turns reading aloud. If they are inclined — encourage them to join in the reading, fostering a cozy literary atmosphere.
