One of my residents and I were talking one day and decided that if we could make a
person from the best charactersitics of everyone on the floor she would be the
coolest girl ever. I thought about it more that night and decided to make a program
out of it! I started by pairing the girls up (only I didn't let them pair with their
roomates) and telling them to think of three positive non-physical charateristics and one
positive physical characteristic of their partners. Then, I made them decide what aspects
of each of us would make the coolest girl. After we talked about it for a while we
traced one of the residents' body and drew a life size picture of the coolest
girl.
Instructions/Things Needed:
crayons/markers
a big roll of paper like teachers use
Other Considerations:
It's very important with this program to stress that it's the "coolest" girl and
not the "perfect", therefore, it's more about personality than appearence. My
girls seemed to like it a lot. I had a big turn out, and they decided to give our
creation at least one characteristic of everyone on the floor, even the girls
who weren't at the program. They even gave the girl my hair and hat!
