How to Throw a Patriotic Carnival for Independence Day (or for Memorial Day, Flag Day, or Even Labor Day)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Host a fun patriotic carnival at your nursing facility to get your residents in the patriotic mood and having fun this summer. To have a successful patriotic carnival, be sure to include four elements: a concession stand, games, patriotic decorations, and entertainment.<\/p>\n

1. Concession Stand<\/strong><\/p>\n

Set up a few concession stands in the backyard for residents and visitors to stop by for food. For instance, coordinate with Dining Services to provide a carnival-themed lunch by setting up a hot dog stand to serve hot dogs and drinks.<\/p>\n

In addition, set up other concession stands in the backyard that serve candy and treats, like a funnel cake station where you make funnel cakes using a waffle iron, a popcorn stand to serve fresh popcorn in bags<\/a>,<\/strong> and a cotton candy stand to pass out cotton candy.<\/p>\n

2. Games<\/strong><\/p>\n

Use some of your residents\u2019 favorite games in your activity closet for the carnival. In addition, provide a few carnival-themed games, like an inflatable pool<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0where you fill the pool with water and have residents try to toss rings around the ducks to win prizes.<\/p>\n

Other fun games include an inflatable ring toss game<\/strong><\/a>,\u00a0or even a bubble blowing contest for the little ones where they try to blow bubbles<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0that stay in the air the longest.<\/p>\n

Be sure to reward residents with fun patriotic prizes, like key chains<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or patriotic slap bracelets<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. Decorations<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before the fun begins, recruit volunteers to help you set up for the carnival. Use a decorating kit<\/strong><\/a> for a variety of items to put around the facility.\u00a0Then once residents arrive, pass out a few patriotic souvenirs for residents to use, like mini flags<\/a><\/strong> for residents to wave and bandanas<\/strong><\/a> to wear. You can also use these patriotic centerpieces<\/strong><\/a> for the tables.<\/p>\n

4. Entertainment<\/strong><\/p>\n

During the carnival, provide a few entertaining activities, like an Uncle Sam Sing Along using a sing along CD<\/span><\/a><\/strong>\u00a0where residents sing patriotic songs together, or a fun patriotic kite show where residents decorate and fly their own plastic kites<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0to see whose kite can fly the highest.<\/p>\n
