This activity uses words and pictures to encourage matching skills and support reading ability, which is often retained for a long time in people living with dementia.
The activity can spark conversation and reminiscing while also reintroducing familiar everyday items that clients may not have seen or used recently.
- Print single sided and laminate.
- Cut the pictures out along the square lines.
- Have your client match the pictures to the words.

These are fantastic. Everything looks so real. They are bright and colorful and pleasant to the eye. This is one of my Dementia Residents favorite activity.
these are great images. thank you for sharing
I have used this activity and it has been very good thank you . I have used it as a reminiscence tool aswell and that was very popular especially with the men as they are quite difficult sometimes to find activities for.
Really liked this funny thing I used to use something similar in my junior classes am in the process of making sa specific one for a boating fanatic
Thank you Linda-joy, I would like to see the boating activity.
wonderful :) they work a treat, 1 resident loves to sit and do the whole set
Glad your clients enjoyed them Robyn.
Thank you Kath, I have been trying to find something like this for ages, many of my clients are non verbal so look forward to putting this together, I take alot off photos and laminate but sometimes its great to come across something like this.
So glad you liked them Sarah.
Great ideas keep them coming
Thank you Geraldine m
Thank you soooooo much for posting this activity. I have tried so many toy shop looking for something like this, I couldn't find anything so like you I made my own but these are much better. Thank you Thank you Thank you
You are very kind Kerryann.
Love this activity thank you so much for sharing it.
So glad you like it :)
What a wonderful activity! Thank you for sharing Kath!
You are welcome Talita.
Thank you so much for these wonderful resources. They are exactly what I have been looking for to use with our dementia care recipients and at no cost they are certainly more reasonable than purchasing the Montessori program. Thanks!

You're welcome Frances, our clients do enjoy these activities, though I would not think them better than the program sets as they are only thin paper & laminate.
