Keeping Staff's Attention During In Service

Recommended Posts

I was wondering with all of you brilliant activity professionals, how you keep your in services from becoming dull, and half the staff sleeping!

We have already done role playing etc.

Any new ideas out there?

Hey Diane,

Have you tried "BRIBES"? :-o

I always have used lottery tickets,candy bars,raffle tickets (for each correct answer for a drawing at the end of the In-Service).What I do is talk about the subject,then every few questions give a prize for the correct answer.Or pass out raffle tickets for every right answer to the staff and then at the end give away a gift certificates for a local resturant(Mc Donalds,Burger King)or a local grocery store.It will cost you 10-$15.00 per in service but have your Administrator pay for it out of petty cash.When the staff know that there are prizes at stake they usually put forth more of an effort to listen!!! It has always worked for me.

Good Luck!! :-) Have Fun! Gina
