I gotta share this with you, David's been working some extra hours at this assisted living center, helping the residents learn to play Wii.
They LOVE it. We don't have ours yet, my car pretty well ate up every penny we had to spare this Fall, but come income tax return time, it'll be here.
My son has his, and it's a blast.
Anyway, David's residents play pool, bowl, all that. He's had a hard time with having them remember to take their finger off the controller when they need to, but that's part of the fun, I guess. They plan on having bowling tournaments with the local Senior Citizens Center, which also has a Wii.
It's good range of motion exercise, great for hand-eye coordination, and really gets them involved in something fun.
If anybody ever is looking for a good fund raising project, silly as it sounds, I'd really recommend a Wii for the elderly.
