Instead of hosting an activity, I observed my mentor and the techniques he used to host a 2 hour game of Hangman. Yes, it was very tedious at times, but altogether fun. My mentor had the residents choose topics and it was pretty hilarious watching the residents get active and participate. Whenever a new word was put on the board, Joe would ask for vowels and the residents would be shouting, "I...E...A...Y!" (Funny how they considered "Y" as a vowel.) The residents guessed words from numerous topics ranging from government, all the way to topics like traveling. At times they would give up, but in the end they always guessed the word.
I'll be seeing my mentor again next week and we discussed that I will host activities then.
