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.

Thank you Golden carers for all the great ideas. My residents really enjoy the quizzes and some of the craft activities. They especially want "This day in history". I try to make it a morning ritual after the newspaper reading. This month there are so many great ideas for St Patrick's day, many I have printed off to use. I take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy St Patrick's day. Here is my beautiful cat, she is much more photogenic than me!
