Spring is in the air! 4 outdoor activities for seniors

March 2021 Newsletter

Spring is almost here, and with it comes warm, sunny weather that’s perfect for socially distanced outdoor activities.

 

Life will begin to return to normal as more and more of the population receives the COVID-19 vaccine, but in the meantime, there are still plenty of ways residents of senior living communities can spend some quality time with their loved ones. Here are a few fun ideas for pandemic-friendly outdoor activities seniors can partake in when their families come to visit.

 

1. A picnic with some favorite family dishes

Picnics are a great way to enjoy some sunshine, great food, and family bonding. If your community has a nearby park or outdoor seating area, pack a basket with your family’s favorite sandwiches, snacks, and side dishes. Each family member or household can bring their own blanket to sit on so you can ensure a safe social distance while you’re eating and talking without masks on.

 

2. A socially-distanced walk

Many senior living communities have walking paths to help residents stay active. Wider trails make it easy to keep a safe distance while you and your loved ones walk, talk, and catch up while taking in some fresh air.

 

3. Lawn games and outdoor sports

Games like cornhole, mini-golf, badminton, and croquet are the perfect activity for a competitive family. These outdoor sports allow you and your loved ones to spread out and use your own equipment during the game, without coming into too close contact.

 

4. Gardening

Spring is the best time to plant things like flowers, fresh herbs, and small vegetables. Get your loved ones together with some potting soil, seed packets, and planting boxes and plant your very own window garden together.
