Description of activity

This is a variant of musical chairs. Engage the residents in a task, beating a drum, dancing or clapping etc. Direct the residents to move/play then to stop when the music stops. Another variant to this, is to have the residents take turns at playing the keyboard, while the therapist 'dances'. When the resident stops playing, the therapist freezes.
