If those coming don't all know one another well, & even if they seem to, you might invite each one to share how they came into the Truth, &/or, some of their most memorable moments: in the field ministry; with family members; at work !. !. !. Things like that are very enjoyable, & keep everyone focused on Jehovah, & the hope that he holds out !. !. !.

Hire a barber shop quartet, or a small Big Band band!. Hang up posters of famous Actresses/Actors/Celebrities all over the room!. Ask either the elders or their family members whom they loved when they were in their 20s, 30s, 40s,etc!. & bring those ideas to the party!. Were any of them dancers!? Find pictures of them dancing & blow them up, if possible!. Play Moonlight Serenade, Sinatra, Benny Goodman Orchestra, all beautiful songs!. Take photos of the people & give it to them as a present!. (Polaroids, or digital, whatever works best & you have the equipment for!. Hire a photographer!? If not in budget, then you and/or your helpers be the photographers) Think outside the box!.

good ideas so far, maybe find out their average age and google those years when they were younger, that may help you find music and things going on during "their days!."
and remember for the most part their minds are probably still "young" and they will still like to have fun, just their bodies have gotten older!.
maybe shuffleboard !?
maybe get them to bring some younger pictures of themselves and have everyone guess who they are !?

sounds like a nice loving idea, kind of in line with the recent articles we had on remembering our Elderly ones!.

You can try Apple dipping and tasting , it is Apple season , buy several different types and slice them , arrange them on plates with the names of the apples on a label !.
I am trying to think !.!. that game where you try to guess what the other person is Gesturing !? Where your given a word and you act it out until some one guesses it !? Maybe use Bible characters or places or things as the words they have to act out and guess !. Like David and Goliath - one could act like he is swinging a sling at a taller person!.
Think Brain games!.

Old Lil Rascals or Shirley Temple movie!?
Depending on the time of year, if it is anytime soon, it will be time for the old Christmas movies like Miracle on 34th Street or It's a Wonderful Life!.
Or how about a bridge tournament or other card game!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Why not just play some music from the Big Band Era (40's)!? They'd enjoy listening to that, and just talking about those days:) If you have access to a tv, you could even show some movies from that time period ) !.!.!.!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
