The attached pictures are from our National Nutrition Month event we had today at Bethany Manor in Story City, IA. We used the "Guess the Herb" activity to make a guessing game for residents to participate in. Residents were able to use the cards to look at different herbs. Once they guessed which herb it was they were able to smell and feel each one. We additionally made some extra cards to include a few spices. It was a lot of fun to see residents engaged and excited to talk about the different spices and herbs they used to use while cooking. Residents told stories and shared memories they each had with the different plants. We also provided a handout that showed what each herb went well with in cooking and some "fun facts" about each one. While most residents were not familiar with all of the different herbs and spices they were eager to learn and actively participated in the activity.
All of the people in the photos attached gave permission for them to be used. Also, this is my first time submitting a story, if you need more information please let me know.
