Residents at Lake View enjoyed a fun and lively session of indoor bowling, with plenty of smiles and a few unexpected moments along the way.

The game quickly took on an extra twist when Gemma attempted a bit of juggling, turning the bowling session into something of a circus act for a moment. Not to be outdone, Doris decided she would like to give it a go as well, leading to even more laughter as everyone watched the attempts to catch the pins. Thankfully, no one was harmed, and the light-hearted moment added to the enjoyment of the activity.

The photographs show residents fully joining in, with one resident standing ready to bowl with a blue plastic ball, while others take their turn from a seated position. Doris is pictured smiling as she holds up a bowling pin, and another image captures her laughing while holding the pins, reflecting the cheerful atmosphere in the room.

Activities like indoor bowling are a great way to encourage movement, coordination and social interaction, while also making space for humour and shared enjoyment. Sessions like this can help residents stay active in a way that feels inclusive and relaxed, with plenty of opportunity for conversation and encouragement.

At Lake View, this bowling game proved that a simple activity can quickly become a lovely source of laughter and connection.
