2018-01-23 07:35:46 PM kristenamrein @sallyadkins, my family travels a lot so sometimes I will show a video and if it's to a place we've been to, I will bring in souviniers and pictures. I also ask staff and residents that are from that country to come and talk to us and play music from that country. I also design trivia. If we're going on a cruise, I will bring in some of my cruise gear (like the Daily Highlights from their Activities Staff) and videos showing what it's like on a cruise.
