All About Me consists of two basic types of activities.
A couple of examples are shown below.
In this game the resident and family/staff/researcher get to virtually travel to a small town where they interact with different community members and share information about their background and preferences. This is set up to be a pleasant and entertaining way to provide information that often falls by the wayside when residents move into a community.

This is set up to be a pleasant and entertaining way to provide information that often falls by the wayside when residents move into a community.
In this activity, participants have the opportunity to play a "Top 5 Answers" type of game where we will learn about our fellow community members. For example, one of the topics may be "Our community's favorite breakfast." The top five breakfast foods will appear on the board as residents guess them. They will be given hints along the way and then there are meaningful discussion questions which are formulated in such a way as to create discussion, camaraderie, and fun. Over time, residents will get to know one another better through these discussions. In the next phase of the study several other activity types will be created and tested.
