More familiar songs as an activity for memory impaired adults

March 29, 2013 at 9:05 pm

When nothing else seems to capture the interest of my mom or her fellow residents, I break out in joyful singing.  Even the men join in when I sing one they know.  With the help of a smartphone, the choices are endless, especially if there are requests.

The favorites are as follows:

“I’ve Been Working on the Railroad”

“She’ll Be Coming Around the Mountain”

“Yankee Doodle”

“Dixie Land”

“This Land is Your Land”

“Bicycle Built For Two”

“You Are My Sunshine”

“Star Spangled Banner”

“God Bless America”

“America”

“Grand Old Flag”

“Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory”

“Taps”

To add to the enjoyment of this activity, we often are sitting around a round table and roll a ball back and forth between us while we sing.
