Just looking for ideas for a retired farmer to utalise for diversional therapy at sundowning time

Meredith 10th May 2014

Hi Jacqueline, what about a box full of old padlocks, some of them clipped together, give the farmer the keys and tell him you need help sorting them out. Maybe find some hinges, gate latches and drop bolts to sort through as well, or small tools, anything he would recognise from the farm and could tell stories about. Meredith

Nine Letter Word Puzzles

I'm about to start a new job as an activity coordinator and one of my ladies loves the nine letter word puzzles in the newspaper so I thought I'd make her some.

I saved various coloured milk bottle tops until I had enough to use for this activity. Its great for visually impaired and dementia clients. The clients gain a sense of self esteem and satisfaction plus it helps with fine motor skills.

Whiteboard Word Quiz

We choose a letter of the alphabet and use that letter to try and get as many words as we can. We use different amounts of numbers each time eg 4 letter words starting B another time it might be 5 letter words starting with C.
