Directions for Caregivers:
Do it together and discuss the reasons for choosing the odd words.
If possible aim to involve participants of equal cognitive ability in order to give everyone a chance to take part, not just the fast thinkers. You could give everyone in the group a worksheet each and compare answers when they are finished. Discuss the reasons behind the choices.
“What does the odd word mean?”
“Why is it different from the rest?”
Early and middle-stage memory care/dementia.
Maybe use three of the word instead of four if you would like to simplify further.
