Before beginning the program, type up a flier that explains the program and distribute it to each resident or each room. Outside your door, or in a central location, hang up envelopes full of paper cut-out turkeys of two different colors. I used red and yellow but any two colors will do. If you don't have a turkey cut-out, you could use a hand print.
Residents can then take one color turkey and write on it something they are thankful for.
They can use the other color to thank someone. You then post the turkeys as you receive them on a hall bulletin board or in a central location on the hall. Fliers explaining the program. Paper turkeys of two different colors and envelopes to hang them in. A bulletin board or a place to display the turkeys.
