October Is National Popcorn Poppin' Month

Here are some ideas for celebrating National Popcorn Poppin' Month with your residents! 

Decorating for a Popcorn Party                
Use a color scheme of yellow and white with a bit of red. Try yellow and red balloons, white and red streamers, dangle yellow and red curling ribbons from several places around the room. Use red and white striped aprons, tablecloths, napkins, etc., if you can find them. String up popcorn and wrap it along railing, across curtains, from hanging lights, etc. Rent a popcorn popper – this will be the hit of the party. You can find them at most party supply stores.

Guess the Kernels
Guess how many popcorn are in the jar. You may use popped corn or popcorn kernels. Just count the corn as you put it in the jar so you will know the correct answer. The resident who guesses closest to the correct answer wins the jar. This is a great opening activity for your popcorn party.

Popcorn and Movie Party
Nothing is more natural with popcorn than a movie. So, watch a movie with your residents while eating popcorn. 

Popcorn Toss
Toss popcorn onto a target. Lay the target down on a table and have residents flick popcorn onto the target using their index finger and thumb. Score their points to determine who wins.

Popcorn Surprise 
Prepare several different flavors of popcorn. Blindfold the residents and feed them the popcorn and have them guess the flavor.
