Pennie 26 Report Share Posted February 4, 2013 February 4th Wacky Days are: Quacker Day, USO Day & World Cancer Day. Quacker Day can be celebrated 2 ways: 1 Quacker Factory fashions wake up your wardrobe with playful sequins, rhinestones, embroidery, and sparkling details. Get some T-shirts & let the residents show their colorful ideals and showcase their whimsical side. 2. The other way to celebrate is to have some good old fashion Quacker Oatmeal. Make up a trivia game to play while eating the oatmeal. No matter what you choose to do as a activity today be sure that it is fun.

Pennie 26 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2013 Feb 6th is Digital Learning Day. Set up a computer & work with residents in small groups. Show them things they can use or do with a computer. Bring up Pinterest, twitter etc. Then show them how emails work. Maybe make another activity next day showing them phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pennie 26 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Wacky Day Feb 12th: Pancake Day - A great way to do this activity is to make pancakes that are different colors. Use food coloring. Divide the batter into separate bowls (how ever many colors you are going to use, a minimum of 3 colors for best look) & then a few drops of food coloring. Cook & stack them on a plate alternating the colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pennie 26 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Feb. 13th: Get A Different Name Day -- Get some blank name tags (Hello my name is blank) & go around to every resident and ask them what name would they like to go by today. Fill in name tag & put onto resident. Everyone must call them by that name all day. At the end of the day gather residents in activity room & discuss how they liked their new name etc..
