Game shows are produced by volunteers in a makeshift television studio at the hospital and then broadcast to patient rooms. Patients and visitors may play the games, and could have the opportunity to win prizes, such as gift certificates for a car wash or a stuffed animal, according to the report.
Games include “Schwobble,” which is similar to “Wheel of Fortune,” and a bingo-style number game called “SMILE,” the report reads.
Cindy Clemens, director of volunteer and senior services with Wheaton Franciscan Healthcare-All Saints, told The Journal Times the games provide a fun activity for patients and are diversions for visitors.
