Description: this matching game with Velcro
involved all my residents and encouraged them to get to
know one another. great for a floor that needs
some community development. I've done it two years
in a row (and this year it one an award!) Even the
residents that don't play the game get asked questions
by the ones who are trying to figure out their
interesting fact. Residents refer to it when they
forget someone's name. Also, later in the year you
can use the pictures for another bulletin board or
"WANTED" poster-like doortags. People
like to see their picture up on the wall.
Instructions_Things_Needed:
1) a picture of every resident (i asked for ones that
could be cut and then took pictures of those who didn't
have one to give)
2) an interesting fact about each resident (again, i
just asked)
3) residents' names and interesting facts on individual
pieces of paper
4) lots of velcro
Other Considerations: putting ziploc bags or a
piece of velcro on either side of the board gives the
residents a bank to work from. they loved matching
the names to the pictures and the facts got lots of
laughs when they were matched incorrectly. Also,
having prizes for the person who can match all the names
correctly really encourages involvement.
