6 years ago I was an inpatient (psychiatric) 3 times. I don't think a discussion of medication should be "fun." Yes, there is a time for fun and a time to be more serious. Psychiatric patients medications are serious business. There may be some lighthearted, even funny, moments but I don't think you should plan for it. There's plenty of "down time" when patients are free to play games, watch TV, etc. where you can be more casual.

psychadelic sock puppets.. ? all I know nothing could possibly be more boring than a slideshow giving boring details on everything they already know about themselves .. Zzzzzzz
Give them computer access and make a research project out of it.. I should think they have plenty of time on their hands.. and you never know a more suitable method of treatment may come out of it for them..
perhaps, self-education of the illness is key to understanding what ails them. Can't hurt :)
