I am wondering if anyone has some ideas relative to breaking the ice and getting to know
one's participants.I am beginning a job as an activities coordinator in a large day program
for the frail elderly in an urban area and want to start off on the right foot! Any words of
wisdom or suggestions would be most welcome.
Thanks!

Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to fostering motivation in terms of increasing interest and participation in activities.? I have observed that it is very difficult to get some participants involved in anything but bingo and television. Field trips are great, but we can't be out all day everyday. Thanks!
