Nursing Student needs Senior Center Teaching Ideas?


I'm a student nurse, about to begin clinicals at a Senior Center. For a project, I am supposed to create a fun, interactive and educational presentation, that is somewhat health related, and present to a group of seniors. Some groups are focusing on dental care (handing out trial toothbrushes/toothpaste) others are focusing on nutrition (showing the audience how to create easy, healthy meals),

So I'm short on ideas

.... any suggestions would be appreciated!

How about a presentation of some basic exercises or stretching. Low impact things, maybe only needing a sturdy chair as a prop. There are 100 things you can do with just a chair.

Another idea would be Fall Prevention, which is a big issue for seniors. Hard to make that interactive tho..heh...perhaps it could be incorporated into the aforementioned topic as a reason to stay fit.
