In this compilation of activity-program ideas, you will run across full program concepts as well as tidbits and tweaks that can add pizzazz to your activity calendar. As the author puts it, there are ideas for those who are "fresh off the vine in the activity field" as well as for those who are "a tad withered around the leaves."Just open the cover to dig into time-tested activities like The Life and Times display, Music & Memories, The Fabulous Follies. A Best-dressed Pet Show, Root Beer & Roulette, A "Staycation" Display, "Racemania," Hometown Happenings, The "Times of Our Lives" Memory Booklet and a host of "Tricks or Tweaks" that can help pump new life into your program...and yourself.This "bag of tricks" is packed with activity ideas that will help immunize you to that dreaded pest that can slowly suck away much of your initial enthusiasm...the burnout bug. As activity directors, we need to "specialize" in being a generalist and keep our programs varied and dynamic.
