Hoosier Charades

I created my own charade ideas and tailored them to my Hoosier patients. They did quite well and I saved the cards for another fun day.

Marshmallow Day

 Feeling fluffy still after all the holiday eating? Maybe you're just prepared for marshmallow day. We had a contest to guess the number of marshmallows in my bag, watched videos of marshmallow making (spoiler: lots of sugar!), and painting silver lined clouds using marshmallows on sticks. Of course the patients got a marshmallow as a prize and I asked this joke:

How do the hershey's bar, marshmallow, and cookie talk to one another?

S'mores code

CompliMints

On compliment day, we talked about how to give a good compliment, voted on whether it's more fun to give or receive them, and made gifts for the staff with tic tacs. The posters with compliments to tear off were also a big hit.

MLK Jr. Day

I had a dream of our patients successfully making origami birds of peace. That dream came true on MLK Jr. Day.
