Hi I just wanted to say thank you for this brilliant resource of being able to create your own quizzes.
I work with advanced dementia residents and one of the best things we can use are visual imagery they can look at. Being able to add pictures to the quizzes and enlarge the size of the picture and font means I can cater to our residents needs as some have poor vision. This will save me so much time and effort in creating low cost activities that will be loved by our residents.
Hi Jo Thanks for sharing the way you use this and thanks for your kind words It sounds like you really care about your residents which is so important thank you again
We love that we can personalize any of the quizzes you have added this feature to! One example: We've taken your Proverbs Quiz(zes) and made them into a Create-Your-Own-Proverb kind of activity (because we can now add our own instructions without having to type the whole quiz over ourselves.) This gets our residents laughing at the bulletin board where these are posted. In other quizzes, where needed, being able to personalize means we can also "American-ize" any of the different quiz questions that may be less familiar to our residents. ;-)
Oh this is so good to hear, thank you so much for your feedback! Yes it certainly makes it easier to adjust quizzes to ensure they are relevant to your residents!
Hi Robert You are right you could do this with Word But this seems easier and faster especially for those who are not that technologically advanced Thanks for sharing
Great idea. Our community receive a news paper once a week. I make a 10 questions quiz from the paper of the week. The residents need to have a read of the newspaper prior to the quiz, works great in ways.
We can have the quiz as a group activity or I give out the quiz so the residents can look for the answers in the newspaper at their leisure and then go through the answers together at the next group quiz session.
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
