Kids aren’t the only ones who get bored; adults do too. Imagine how our senior citizens feel in a nursing home.

Well, this group shoo-ed away the boredom with a game of life sized Hungry Hungry Hippos and we can’t take our eyes off them!

This is heart-warming to watch. Twitter-verse seems to agree with us!

Was feeling a bit sorry for myself but this has cheered me right up!

Love this idea, great way to entertain, bet the residents have a fair few laughs, they could even take side bets

This is EVERYTHING!

As the Movement Control Order (MCO) continues, it’s important that we still stay connected with our loved ones, through phone calls or video calls. However, if you’re already living with your family, this is a good idea to have fun indoors while you share a good laugh and burn some calories at the same time.
