We had an absolute blast playing this exciting game at Bickford of Saginaw Township Assisted Living! The residents couldn’t get enough—they didn’t want to stop! The game, a high-energy twist on “Simon Says,” involves quick reflexes: when you hear “cup,” it’s a race to grab it first. The competition was fierce and full of laughter. It’s called “Head, Shoulders, Knees, CUP,” and it brought so much joy to everyone involved! #AssistedLiving #FunGames#Funtimes
