Is it Wii-Fun or Wii-Therapy?

We will soon have our own video camera to show our residents and day center members enjoying wii bowling.

Not only is it great fun for those who play, it is also a way to do therapy and make new friendships. Allieviating loneliness is just as important as therapy.

If you have a loved one who is able to play Wii bowling, by all means "sign them up" and teach them how to play, you will be surprised how quickly they learn wii techniques to improve their bowling scores.

Some of the staff at Brethren Retirement Community recently challenged our residents to a Wii bowling tournament.  Who do you think won?

Let's just say, the staff didn't stand a chance of beating them... we all had a lot of fun. I even picked up a few tips from some of our "pros".... I think they took mercy on me since I had the second lowest score!
