Suggested Action Steps to Host Activities

These are the steps to consider in planning, implementing and evaluating your social activities and games:

Action Step 1:  Planning

  • Read and understand more about the activity you have selected among the options above.
  • Determine who you are targeting for your activity (level of cognition, diversity of the participants, inclusivity, etc.).
  • Where will be the setting of the activity? Who do you think will attend? What are the resources required? Can you partner with other organizations for greater impact?

Action Step 2: Promotional outreach and education

  • Start to plan your activity by designing promotional flyers/materials to recruit participants. Distribute your materials through proper channels (eg. community newspapers, homes, community centres and other community settings where adults and older adults gather).
  • Consider how you will manage the participants recruited. Do you have space/material limitations? Will you need to limit the number of participants for this activities and perhaps have people sign up in advance? Is there enough interest to host multiple events? 
  • Implement your activity as planned.

Action Step 3: Evaluation

  • You can evaluate your activities by counting the number of handouts you gave, or how many people attended, or how many contact you gained from the event. 
  • You can also distribute a questionnaire to measure the level of satisfaction with the activity. See participant evaluation template HERE to customize.
