| Description of activity | This activity is done best on a one-to-one. The participant is asked to sit comfortably or lie down. He/she is asked where (to what place) shall be visited (eg. the forest, another country). The music is begun and the therapist helps the resident pretend to visit the desired destination. Before the music ends, the therapist 'guides' resident 'back home'. This is a good activity for someone is a wheelchair, who normally could not literally go for a walk in the forest. |
| Song used | "An American in Paris' by Gershwin |
