Need help with psych group activity?

Hello everyone, I am a nursing student in my psych rotation. We need to do an assignment where we have a group activity where patients are interactive and actually "get" something from the activity. My activity involves sleep hygiene since most patients in psych hospitals have a big issue with sleep. I have already made a presentation regards to sleep, but am still lacking an activity/game/ interactive part. Any suggestions? thanks so much!

    How about adapting the kids' game "Hangman" to fit sleep. You could call it "Sleeping Man," because the word hangman isn't appropriate on a psych unit. The picture you'd form would be of a sleeping man. Got a blackboard or a write-on, wipe-off board? Words used would be related to sleep. A person who guessed a word would be the next person to choose a word and be up front filling in the blanks. Make sure he/she tells you the word before you go ahead with it though.

    I've used this many times on a psych unit with patients with extreme illnesses. Often the patients enjoyed it alot. Give prizes--just little things like shampoo, soap, toothbrushes, snacks, whatever you can get from the unit stash.

    This won't work for all groups, but it does work for many.

    How about doing some progressive muscle relaxation with the group?
