• Word Rummy Card Game
• Table Bocce
• Nutrition Cards and Stacking Sandwich
Word Rummy
Word Rummy
Crossword puzzles, word search, and other word games are daily brain activities enjoyed by many. Word Rummy was chosen as part of our Brainy Day Program to rekindle the word game challenge for the person who would still like to play but needs a simpler way to be successful at it.
Table Bocce
Bocce Disk
Competition that is fun and affirming was the intent of choosing this activity.  When dementia claims life’s journey, with it comes many losses. This game has many opportunities to provide the feeling of victory while encouraging laughter and pleasure.

Food and Nutrition
Eating is often one of the areas of concern for many care providers. As the person with dementia eats less (or more) because of forgetfulness or lack of appetite, nutrition can become a critical matter. Our Food and Nutrition activities will assist the care provider through discussion, visualization and hands-on manipulation.

• Wheelee Balls (2) • Community Helpers Cards • Connecting Butterflies and Flowers
Wheelee

The Wheelee Ball
It was our desire to find a way to offer exercise that was fun and exciting while inspiring participation. The physical exercises with the Wheelee Ball can do just that. Holding the ball helps awaken the senses so the person with dementia can join in successfully.

Community Helper Cards
Community Helpers
We know how often the person with dementia can lose the connection with the world around them.  These cards and activities are intended to help an individual reconnect and remember the people in their community.

Connecting butterflies

Butterflies and Flowers
We provide many activity ideas for the individual who loved to garden and who loved the outdoors. These butterflies and flowers will aid in reconnecting with a treasured pastime. Just seeing the bright colors bring smiles and trigger reminiscing.

• Shut the Box Game • Pentominoes Puzzle  
Shut the box
Shut the Box
Mathematics is a part of everyday life… professionally, at home or even having fun in a casino. With Shut the Box, rolling the die and flipping the numbers can provide a way to stimulate number recognition while offering opportunities for simple math fun.
Pentominoes

Pentominoes
There are many seniors who enjoyed working jigsaw puzzles. The Pentominoes activities are meant to bring back the joy of that pleasure. Manipulating the pieces of the puzzle is good for dexterity and can provide opportunities for organizing and problem solving at a very basic level.

Use Caution:
Although our products meet the size requirements to avoid a choking hazard, please use your discretion. Some of the products in this activity program may not be appropriate for all individuals with memory loss.
