Casual Day 2012

Some of my amazing OT class, and our supervisors

In September this year, we raised awareness for people with disabilities, by buying and wearing a casual day sticker. Every year there is a different theme for Casual Day. This year it was "All Aboard", where we were encouraged dress up like sailors and pirates, and show our support for those with disabilities. At our practical venue we had a special day planned for the residents, involving special games and food according to the theme. It was great to see all residents joining in, even those who don't regularly attend our group. The fun and activities were a great way to improve the mood of the residents, and gave them something to look forward to. It was over all a great success. Have a look at some of the pictures below to view the fun activities we engaged in.



We set up the dining area to look like a ship(above) and began the day
with a game of "Captain Say's" which is plaed in the same way as Simon Say's

We played pass the parcel(above) where everyone received a small gift



We laid out food for them like cupcakes and juices.
At snack time made fruit sticks and fish biscuits using marie biscuits.

We played pin the hat on the sailor(above)
and one of the residents read a peom for us thereafter
And lastly we had a photo-booth where everyone could dress up
and take pictures(above) as well as disco dancing at the end.
