"We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw. Join PSBC’s most fun and playful class yet! Led by our neurophysiotherapist, Shelly Yu, you'll engage in a series of games that provide a physical and mental workout. Get ready for some dual-tasking silliness!
Equipment Required:
- Blown-up balloon (medium-size)
- 4 paper cups
- A chair (no wheels)
- A light-weight scarf or tea towel (no infinity scarves)
- A foot stool
- Something long and sturdy (e.g. umbrella, walking poles, long handled shoe horn etc.)
Please note, players are strongly encouraged to keep their cameras on during the session in order to participate fully. The sessions are not recorded so feel free to be as silly as you’d like! Come join the laughter!
