I Love to Write Day

Do you love to write? Patients shared if this activity is important to them or has ever been. We did trivia about various writers, played word games, and embraced the day by writing thank you notes for staff. Some patients chose to decorate the cards and have their thoughts transcribed for them instead.

Tartan Day

To celebrate Tartan Day, we had staff wear any tartan they could find. The BINGO prize for the day was a sticker of a swatch of tartan. We listened to Celtic music, and talked about the idea of knowing which family someone was associated with just by seeing their clothes. At the end of the day, I wrote the letters T A R N S (Tartans without repeating letters) with categories along the side. The patients came up with answers for each category for each letter.

Cherry Blossom Tree Day

 Although I am no longer in Maryland, I still wanted to celebrate the Cherry Blossoms. I showed youTube videos of the event. We did soda bottle stamp painting. Finally, we tried to make as many words as possible out of the letters from Cherry Blossom Tree Day.
