Balloon Swatters
Balloon Swatters are a fun and engaging way to introduce gentle physical activity into group or individual exercise sessions. Designed to encourage movement without strain, they are ideal for care homes, day centres, or hospital activity groups. The lightweight swatters allow users to bat balloons back and forth, creating an enjoyable and inclusive game that can be adapted for all abilities.
This activity is particularly beneficial for older adults and those living with dementia, as it helps improve hand-eye coordination, concentration, and mobility while promoting laughter and social interaction. With soft balloons replacing traditional balls, the game is safe and easy to join in from a seated or standing position. It’s a simple yet effective way to keep residents active, engaged, and entertained.
