Board Games & Love ~ a fantastic opportunity to connect with local seniors.
All ages are encouraged to join us as we gather around Sterling Estates of West Cobb's Senior Living Facility's common room to mix, mingle & play board games together.
This service will help expand our youths' connectivity to elders while offering the seniors some Joy playing board games and aiding in cognitive engagement for both.
After board game time, the seniors will be heading off to dinner (5 pm), and we have been invited to mingle around the dining room to hand out sweet treats & Valentine's Day cards. This is a great opportunity for youth to work on their interpersonal skills by striking up short conversations with our new friends while handing out some Kind gifts.
- Valentine's Day cards & sweet treats can be homemade if you have the time or store bought to share. Please let your kids decide what should be given.
- Hours volunteered at home making cards can be counted as service hours, please let us know how long each person spent creating cards and the hours will be added to your total hours served with KIDS CARE.
