People at a care home in Wales have found a new way to pass the time while in isolation at their home. They are playing 'Hungry hippos' but in a different way. They use wheel chairs and upturned baskets on the end of broom sticks to grab as many balls as they can during the game.
The residents are between 80 and 102 years old. The manager of the care home said, "We try to be as positive as we can. We're just trying to keep things as normal and have fun, keep smiling and make sure our residents have fun and are safe."
A video has gone viral where residents are heard laughing as they join in.
