It is too late to book a place for this particular session, sorry about that.Age Scotland offer fun active games training for Body Boosting Bingo and Power Quiz. These games incorporate light physical movements that develop strength, balance and flexibility in older adults, and that are based on research evidence.
The Fife Meaningful Activity Network have arranged for Age Scotland to deliver an in-person workshop to introduce you to Age Scotland's fun active games for older people to develop strength and balance, demonstrating how you can build activity in a fun and sociable way.
The training will cover:
- Strength and balance - why they matter for later life and how games help
- An introduction to the games and an overview of the thinking behind them
- An opportunity to try leading a game
- How to plan safe and enjoyable games sessions for older people
- Accessing the games resource
- Keeping in touch and ongoing support
There are two training sessions held on 30 October, with 20 places available in each session. The session times are: 11.00-1.15 and 2.00-4.45.
