more sing alongs or cute little games...at Moravian they have Neighborhood Circle and we could ask to run an activity one day like the jeopardy or trivia or hymn sing. They'd like it a lot better than the lady closer to their age who usually runs it.

we each get assigned a grandparent! I did this when I was younger with my family because we lived far away from our biological grandparents so I had my sub grandparents that we spent time with and talked to! Fun for them and us!

It would be really nice to just visit for awhile. My dad has befriended one of the residents at Gracedale who we drive to church and his kids don't even visit him anymore. We're the only ones on his visitor list and it's really sad. I think a lot of the people, especially ones at less-funded homes, just need some company.

# data[].attributes.body
Try to find a really easy round that we can have the older people sing along with us. A few Nightingales could go about the room to help with the singing.

Lots of us are thinking about college, so we can ask them about university or career or lifestyle choices they’ve made and even ask for advice since they have so much wisdom! We can also ask for music they love, just to learn more about who they are because of who they were.

# data[].attributes.body
we could ask them how music has helped them throughout their lives

# data[].attributes.body
We should ask the following:
1. Their favorite songs (possible from a list so we can sing one of them with them)
2. How has music impacted your life?
3.  Did you sing when you were younger?  What kind of music did you listen to?
4.  Ask how their day has been.  Other personal things.  WHAT IS THEIR NAME?

# data[].attributes.body
We could as questions and interact with them at the end of our performance. We could ask them what they thought of the music and if they were musical performers themselves. Then, each Nightingale member could interview two or three people and learn about their life and if they are connected to music. If they are, did they play an instrument, sing, or dance etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Around the holidays we could come and sing and then make crafts, and like eat ccokies and drink hot chocolate with them

We could put together a list of fun music specific trivia from different time periods to ask in small groups. We could also prepare questions to ask about their favorite music and what they would like to hear us sing for them when we come to visit, so that we can perform more songs that they know and enjoy.

A lot of the people that end up in these homes usually don't have their family visit them often. It's terrible. So I would like be able to sit and talk with them, learn about them, and create a closer bond. In my old school, we would go to nursing homes and share our talents and play games with the residents. It doesn't have to be overly complex but something simple and memorable.
