We asked our Facebook users [3] for the most fun (and sometimes funniest) ways to volunteer with senior citizens. Cause you know, activities like BINGO are pretty funny. Here are the favorites:

At the senior center or retirement home...

  • Play card or board games like checkers.
  • Produce a talent show or dance-off.
  • Host a Senior Citizen prom!
  • Old movie screening (something that was made when they were young).

    • For the neighbors that you know.

  • Cook and deliver meals.
  • Mow the their lawns.
  • Teach them how to use a computer or a cell phone.
  • Grow a garden with them (get ready to do the heavy lifting).
  • Take their dogs for walks or to the vet.
