A Super Bowl Sunday Interest Grabber
Is your city’s team in the Super Bowl? Activities Directors, do you want to peak the interest of your residents? Caregivers, do you want to generate some interest in the Super Bowl from your loved one?
Here is a sure fire way to get them wanting to watch the Super Bowl even if your team is not a part of it. Make a card to pass out to your residents.You can have some of the higher functioning residents design it or you can make the card yourself.
If you are a caregiver, help your loved one to make a poster or a card.
The card does not have to be fancy.
On the front of it simply say”Who will win the Super Bowl?”
On the inside list the teams
The Pittsburgh Steelers_____________
or
The Arizona Cardinals______________
Have each resident check off who he/she thinks will win.
Help the physically impaired and lower functioning residents with an interest in football.
Tell the residents that you will put the cards of all those picking the winning team into a hat.Say that you will pick five cards and these folks will get a prize.
You can choose the number and type of prizes you want to give.
You may have to remind the folks with dementia what you are doing and why.
However if they are not football fans or do not like contests, then they do not have to participate in this activity.
Then on Super Bowl Sunday, you can…….
Come back tomorrow to see what I have in mind.
