Curry-ated Activities

We spiced things up one day with a discussion of common herbs people use in their kitchens. The patients got excited talking about which they liked, what they used them for, and learning about their health benefits.

We also did a sensory test. They were allowed to look, smell, and taste  to guess cinnamon, rosemary, and garlic salt.

Pablo Flowers

The patients tried their hands imitating art that was imitating life. I'm pretty proud of their efforts.

Casino Day

For Casino day, I wore a green visor. The patients took pictures with a casino headband. They played our slots game to get a homemade ice cream sandwich. Finally, we played the dice game (first person to roll each number on the dice wins) and card BINGO (one pack I distribute to the patients, the other I call out one at a time until someone is able to match all their set). Everyone was a winner.

Spa Day

For spa day we did things a little differently. We painted using sponges.

Instead of giving normal hand massages I heated up blankets in the dryer to wrap around the patients shoulders. After giving them a hand massage, I wrapped their hands as well to leave them feeling warm and post-spa relaxed.
