Activities are now an integral part of life in a care home, giving residents a structure to their day and something social to look forward to. Quizzes are one of the most popular activities with residents but rarely done on a regular basis because of the time it takes to prepare them! It is usually not cost effective to run a quiz for this reason. I have several years experience of running activities in care homes, including a weekly quiz. I have amassed a wealth of questions I would love to share. For as little as one pound a week you can have a quiz emailed to your care home, allowing you to run a quiz without all the hard work. Once you have the right material anyone can run your quiz (see our top tips page).
