Heart Activity
- Paper
- Crayons
I did this activity for our dementia unit, but it could work for the general wing as well. This activity is to get them talking and reminiscing. I started by drawing a heart. Then asking them their favorite color to write their name in the middle. I like to ask them how to spell it and just play dumb. I am pretending I know absolutely nothing about them so it gives them a chance to tell me. Some of the residents can't draw themselves, or even know anything that they like. You can just use yes or no questions to help them along. They really enjoy these. Who doesn't like to be asked questions?
