  Alphabet Word Games [3]
  
  In this section, you will find a variety of word games associated with the alphabet. You suggest a theme and see how many words you can find starting either with an individual letter or work your way through the alphabet. This activity is suitable for both individuals and groups.
  Anagram [6]
  
  An anagram is when the letters of a word has been mixed up and your task is to unscramble them to form a word which relates to the theme associated with the game in hand. Each of our games has a different overall theme.
  
  If a clue is divided into two or more words, each one of these is an individual word in the answer. If you are doing this activity with a individual or a group and they can't work a word out, it may be helpful to give them the first letter of the answer to help them figure it out. Have fun and exercise those braincells!

  Proverbs [6]
  
  Isn’t it amazing how many sayings and proverbs we remember from our lives! It is a bit like when someone starts singing a song and you find yourself singing along with the words to the chorus even though you haven’t heard the song for years. Proverbs work the same way, your automatic memory kicks in!
  
  . In this section, you will find lists of well-known proverbs. They are great for use with both individuals and in a group situation and are often a great way to connect with individuals with dementia. To engage the other person (s), you say the first part of the proverb and let them finish the saying.
  To encourage conversation you might ask them what they think a particular proverb means or refers to and then have a discussion around it. For example: “The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” can give rise to a conversation about someone you both know who have characteristics reminiscent of their mother or father.

  Word Searches [3]
  
  Print out a Word Search and try your hand at finding the listed words within the grid. All words are in formed in straight lines and the words can be found horizontally, vertically, forwards and backward. In some puzzles, the words can also be found diagonally. When you find the word you searched for mark it in the grid and also tick it off in the list so that you don’t go looking for it twice. Good luck!
