Hispanic Heritage Month: “Music Match Up Bulletin Board”

By Lynsey Chesnut, Resident Assistant, University of Nebraska at Lincoln

I have a fun way for people to get their floor active with Hispanic Heritage Month. I took 4 different kinds of Hispanic music, and posted each of them up on a bulletin board. On the board I posted multiple forms with the names of individual artists, and push pins (these forms had a place where residents signed their names). Residents were asked to match the artist with the different type of music (see sample music and artists below).

The names of all the residents who got all the matches correct were placed in a hat and I randomly selected a winner, who received a goody care package (get goodies at the dollar store).
