Seven humourous limericks to tickle the funny bone. This video can be used with older adults to lighten the mood, encourage laughter, enhance emotional well-being and provide an opportunity for intellectual stimulation. It can also be used as part of a poetry-writing project to illustrate the general structure of limericks.
Goals:
1) To enhance emotional well-being through humour and clever word-play.
2) To encourage laughter--a physiological process that itself can help relieve physical/emotional distress.
3) To encourage socialization (e.g.: a shared laugh, discussion).
4) To provide cognitive stimulation via the opportunity to follow wordplay, ideas and rhyme. This video can also be used as part of a writing project and provide cognitive stimulation by illustrating the limerick format so that an individual could try his or her hand at writing one.
