The theme for Older Americans Month 2012, Never Too Old to Play... encourages older Americans to stay engaged, active and involved in their own lives and in their communities. In celebration of Older Americans Month, the U.S. Administration on Aging is pleased to provide this website which offers useful resources and tools to help you plan and promote events and activities honoring older Americans.
Consider hosting a Day of Play with a team trivia night, intergenerational Wii bowling tournament or other fun activity! Bring the community together by painting a mural or sponsoring a photo scavenger hunt. Whatever your community does, make sure you have fun and consider making it intergenerational. More than anything else always remember... You're Never Too Old To Play!
