Olympics at Good Samaritan

    In lieu of Activity professional week, we have 3 days of power fitness and brain fitness planned in this years winter olympic games. To kick off the events we will be having an olympic parade beginning at 2:00 on 1/22/13. The residents will walk around the main part of the building wearing the flags of the country that they chose to represent. The leader of this walk will hold the infamous torch that signifies the coming together of so many different people.
Today's events include U.S. Geography and Cornhole. In U.S. geography, the athletes have 2 minutes to name as many U.S. States as they can. Pencils down when the time is up and winners will be calculated for the closing ceremonies. In Cornhole, the athletes will play each other in a braquet. The first to 21 gets to move on to the next round, then the next round until we have 1st, 2nd, & 3rd places.

Each day consists of two events and will run through Thursday. Thursday night all of our athletes will come together for the Medal ceremony. Each event has 3 winners, 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place. All of our contestants will receive a bracelet and a participation certificate. We hope to see a big crowd and lots of cheers. LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!

Also, we will be having something special for the Activity Team and for our Volunteers, as it is Activity Professional Week.
