I'm looking for suggestions for board games to play with people with low/moderate dementia. I'm currently playing Monopoly Junior and Scrabble Junior. We play "regular" Yatzee, UNO, and Left Right Center.
I'd like to broaden my board game selection. Ideas that work well with a mixed group?
I like to play a modified version of "Name That Tune". Instead of playing music. say the song title word by word For example start be saying let see if anyone can name the song if not then then say let me see if anyone can name the song if not then then say let me call you see if anyone can name the song if not then say the whole song title Then you can sing the song Let everyone have a turn For non verbal residents ask a different resident if he knows what the non verbal resident is thinking I also like simple dice and card games
I am a centre based RAO and one of the table game our clients enjoy is Tri-ominos - a Domino Game with a three sided twist. The game can be purchased at toy shops and is would be suitable to your mentioned clients.
Left Right Center is a dice game that my residents love! It's great because it challenges them to use their left and right hands. Good brain challenge and simple enough for them to enjoy and not get frustrated.

For example
start be saying let see if anyone can name the song if not then
then say let me see if anyone can name the song if not then
then say let me call you see if anyone can name the song if not then
say the whole song title
Then you can sing the song
Let everyone have a turn
For non verbal residents ask a different resident if he knows what the non verbal resident is thinking

Board games that ask residents to comment on a reminiscing topic are always fun.
