Office for Aging and Partners Bring Intergenerational Game Event to Saratoga County on November 17

Written by Saratoga TODAY on . Posted in Business.

SARATOGA SPRINGS —The New York State Office for the Aging (NYSOFA), Ageless Innovation, and the Saratoga Senior Center are hosting a “Reach Out and Play” event, an intergenerational game day, at the Saratoga Senior Center on November 17 from 10:30 a.m. to Noon.

Game play is fun for all generations. But the real wins are overcoming social isolation (a leading public health concern), encouraging engagement for older adults, and getting generations together so they can learn from one another (and combat ageism in the process). 

Participants will be playing recently released and re-imagined classic board games from Ageless Innovation in partnership with Hasbro Toys. These reimagined classics are designed with age-inclusive components, such as easy-to-grasp game pieces, increased font size, and trivia and references that cater to players of all ages. 

The Saratoga Senior Center is located at 290 West Ave., Ste 1, Saratoga Springs (attached to the YMCA). For questions about the event or to RSVP, call 518-584-1621.
