Would love to see some more group activities for much more moderate levels of Alzheimer's and Dementia that cannot follow detailed instructions but would still like more adult, not child like, activities.

Hi, JD, you could try activities that need very little instructions like when the group can use self-expression and strive towards independence with the material/tools available. In a group setting offer some air clay for them to mold the way they want to or set up a tea/coffee table where they can serve themselves a drink. It will give them a wonderful sense of satisfaction.

Some activities that needs minimal instructions:

Dancing/karaoke/

Songs reminiscing

Ball playing: volleyball, bouncing balloons to each other

Sitting exercises

Painting - water colouring/mosaics

Beading (jewelry making)

Gardening

Pet interaction

By the way JD, there are some âchildlike' characteristics that are conducive to a better life. Elders should be encouraged to give themselves permission to be childlike (not childish) and recapture the sense of fun, curiosity and wonder.

Alz and Dem Residents, in smaller groups, 10-15 minutes so you can catch more groups if you are working by yourself. 3 groups within an hour 3 times a week.
