I love this! I too work in a mental health hospital as well. I always would just draw a person, a flower, or something that fits the season. Sometimes I wouldn't draw anything at all and would just cross out letters that were already guessed. Love this idea!
I have also changed the name from "Hangman" to Sitting Man where I draw a chair then every wrong letter given I draw a stick body, stick arm, etc until I have a stick figure sitting on the chair.

Once again Golden Carers has come to the rescue. I live in a retirement village and calling on my years as a Diversional Therapist I constantly use the Golden Carers for new ideas to run my group in the village. I especially love the Read Aloud Audience Participation activity and I always pick a very shy resident to take a part. It is amazing how much it brings them out of their shell. The quiz always helps keeps their minds active and gives them such a feeling of self worth when they get a correct answer.
