Seasons of the Year Quiz for Dementia and Older Adults

Printable Easy-level Quiz.

Short Description:

Enjoy this fun Seasons of the Year Quiz designed for seniors and people with dementia. Choose Northern Hemisphere (for example, the USA and Europe) or Southern Hemisphere (Australia and South America) versions and test your knowledge of spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Perfect for memory care, group sessions, or one-on-one activities.

Directions for Caregivers:

Ask the questions clearly, chatting about what the person enjoys each season — maybe beach days, spring flowers, or warm winter soups. Share your own experiences and make it a fun social activity.

Pose the questions to the group and invite them to share answers or memories. You can use photos of local scenery or extreme seasons of the world to make it more visual.

Early and mid-stage dementia

Offer clear, simple choices, maybe two is enough (“Is it summer or winter?”), and enjoy gentle reminiscence — the sound of rain, the smell of barbecue, or the feel of a cool breeze.

Why Manageable Quizzes Are Good for People with Dementia

Gentle, easy-to-follow quizzes, like our seasons quiz, can be a wonderful way to engage people living with dementia. They encourage participation without pressure and offer a sense of success with each answer, helping to build confidence and maintain self-esteem. Familiar topics, such as seasons, holidays, or everyday life, can spark pleasant memories and offer opportunities for conversation and laughter.

Manageable quizzes also support cognitive stimulation, which can help slow mental decline by keeping the brain active. They promote focus, recall, and social interaction, all while providing moments of connection between caregivers and participants. Even if the person doesn’t remember every answer, the process of thinking, sharing, and enjoying the experience together is what truly matters.
