Description:
A resident helped me with this one. We went through
magazines and cut pictures expressing differnet moods:
happy, silly, sad, relaxed, stressed, etc. Even
added musical, romantic, and athletic. Each resident's
name was printed on a small piece of paper and then
puttied to the bulletin's boarder. The residents
enjoyed "changing their mood" from day to
day and it was a good way for me to start a conversation.
Instructions/Things Needed:
magazines
scissors
a bulletin board : )
poster putty
paper (for names and title)
Other Considerations:
Try not to choose magazine pictures that overemphasize
beauty. This program centers more on how residents
feel than how they look. "Ordinary people"
are easily found in news magazines. Oh, and be
sure to move your mood, too.
