My friend, before she passed and I regularly played Scrabble, Canasta, Gin & 500 Rummy. We enjoyed short jaunts too.
I’m not sure of Dads physical or mental abilities or even his interest but I always enjoy talking to older people who have lived through so much history and have so many interesting stories. Would he like to interact with children? Maybe he could help at schools or talk to neighborhood kids. My Dad was a Quadriplegic and outside a lot and kids were always around asking every imaginable question. You know how uninhibited children are. That interaction was good for all of them.
Does he read? Maybe he’d like to go to the library occasionally. Do you think he’d be interested joining Connect? You could teach him the ropes in no time. If I can learn, anyone can learn.

Thanks for the ideas , I will have to try some of the games, he doesn’t really get out much or do much reading
