Early-stage memory care/dementia.

Print word game sheets, explain the exercise, and be on hand to give help. It could be describing the word that is searched for or pointing out the first half of a word if needed.

Mid-stage memory care/dementia

Point out the first half of a word if needed. You can sound out the options verbally, pair the first part with the different options and get to the word that sounds right.

Encourage as much active participation as possible. If a person is unable to write, rather than you crossing out words as you find them (even if the person can’t write, they may be able to cross a word out), you can assist further by indicating with your finger where to put the X.

About this Activity

Reminiscing with this Word Game Activity.

This split word game is a great trigger activity for reminiscing. Do you remember the different types of cars that you had during your life? Google them to have a look. I remember my Dad, who loved his cars, made an album and printed out pictures of all the different exact models of cars he owned in his life. We had great chats looking through the images, and he would tell stories about different times.
