Fun Activities for Seniors
Getting older doesn’t mean you have to give up on the things you love to do. There are plenty of activities out there that seniors can do inside and outside the home. Need senior activities ideas? We’ve got you covered.
Bingo, Bunco, and Card Games
Looking for a social outlet and a fun time? Enjoying games like Bingo, Bunco, Bridge, Cribbage, and Mexican Train are great options. There are various groups out there among friends. However, senior centers and churches also host weekly or monthly games for seniors.
Residents at Renaissance Villages can take part in various games throughout the week. In addition, our monthly activity planning meetings are great for residents to voice the games they’re interested in playing or learning for the following month.
Fitness Classes
Fitness is essential for everyone, no matter your age. Therefore, regular participation in fitness classes can help keep seniors active. Exercise is great for their overall health and well-being. Geriatric fitness classes are particularly beneficial because each exercise can be modified to best suit the needs of each participant. Renaissance Villages offers a great strength training program for residents called Geri-Fit. This instructor-led program helps residents keep active. Furthermore, it empowers them to regain their mobility and confidence.

Crafting Groups
Knitting, quilting, and painting, oh my! There’s plenty
of different crafting projects to keep people of all ages entertained. Knitting circles and quilting guilds may be available in your local community. For example, churches are often a great place to find these sorts of groups. Yaymaker and Paint & Sip Studios have made painting not only fun, but much more accessible for those who aren’t artists. Renaissance Villages has weekly crafting activities that include painting and arts & crafts opportunities. In addition, there are several common areas located throughout the communities that are great for residents who like to knit, quilt, or sew.
Outings
Nobody wants to stay home all day, and doing so can make you feel isolated and limit your socialization. Getting outside of the house is important to a senior’s health. It not only provides an opportunity to do fun activities, but it also benefits seniors socially. When it comes to outings, the world is your oyster. Outings like lunch or dinner, the movie theater, aquariums, theatre productions, or to the casino are fun for everyone. At Renaissance Villages, we have weekly outings to these various places as well as other fun activities that residents can take part in outside the community. In addition, residents also receive complimentary local transportation to medical appointments and other errands.
Activities at Renaissance Villages
Renaissance Villages offers daily activities for all residents. Activities allow residents to have fun and get to know others in the community. All activity planning is resident-driven as they can offer their opinions, likes, and dislikes to our Activity Directors. We design the activities schedule to help increase their quality of life. Our memory care activities target various modalities to help keep residents active on several different levels. Furthermore, activities engage residents on a physical, cognitive, social, sensory, emotional, creative, and spiritual level.
