Reminiscing: How to Create a Memory Board
I have done a sunflower picture for each of my residents in the memory unit and have put information from their Life Story on each petal..it is then laminated and placed near the door so that staff can instantly see the information about the resident...it is like their story in a nutshell. I will now further this by doing the poster boards, love this idea.

I too play this but we use 13 cards and turn them over as called. I also use normal size cards and larger cards for those with sight impairments. The cards I use to call out are quite large I got them from KMart, I also show them the card as I call it for the hearing impaired. I use the aces and call it the one of hearts etc.
