Wii Bowling is a strike in my community! It is a program that we started a few years ago, and thanks to an active resident, it has continued on very successfully. The team practices a couple of times a week and the community residents who are not on the team, play a few times a week also. They play morning, noon and night. They play in the Auditorium and then they play in a smaller activity room. It doesn't really matter, as long as they play! The team is currently in a competition that is national. It is through the National Senior League.
This is a great activity because of the exercise the resident gets, the team fellowship, the fun that they have and the fact that it does not cost the community very much money. And, if you have a good PR person and a good team, it gets into the newspaper... which means good public relations for your community.
Our group has tried to play tennis with the Wii and that did not last very long. I'm wondering if anyone else has tried and had any success with other Wii activities. Please share how Wii is used in your community.
