This is best at either the beginning or end of a semester when people
are most likely to be thinking about home. The idea is that
everyone who is interested contributes a recipe for one of their
favorite foods that they look forward to eating once they go back
home- a family favorite if you well. The floor comes together to
do everything and have a family style dinner. I also used this
as a low stress final floor meeting.
Instructions/Things Needed:
I had each of my residents give me $3.50 for the supplies, including
food and plates. You definately need a radio and some fun music
to make cleaning up and cooking part of the fun. Also, it helps
to create a party atmosphere as people are coming in to eat so that
people mingle.
Other Considerations:
I would have a sign up sheet for people to help clean up and prepare
the food- that way people would be more likely to actually help with
the less exciting aspects of the program.
