15 Ways To Honor Veterans And Their Families All Year Long
Hi Natalie
Sounds like a great ideaThanks for sharing it
these are great for socials. especially as we start group activities up again with residents having to stay 6 feet apart. You can call out some questions over the microphone and have residents raise their hands or give them the conversation cards and let them write down answers and then collect them and give out some of the answers. For instance for St Patty's Day I am having residents say their favorite color of the rainbow, name some thing green, and what they would do if they were as small as a Leprechaun.
I love that!!
I've used cards with only a picture as the picture can be interpreted in many ways. This allows me to tailor a prompt/question according to the person who has drawn that card. Many of our participants have dementia and now find reading difficult - pictures remove that pressure.
