Great game. Especially with the reveal. I would love a version with less obscure animals for my residents living with dementia, some simpler guesses to give them confidence to keep playing.
Thanks for your feedback Steph. Great idea, we'll do an easy version with some more common animals. It is a great game to play with the image reveal option!
I used this activity as a starting point, I printed large photos of the various animals and included some information about the animals such as where the live and what they eat. Then I showed the pictures to the residents one picture at a time and had them guess the name of the animal then gave them some information about the animal.
Also asked them to reminisce about their favourite pets and asked them what animal they could be in another life.

I have recently started my new position of Lifestyle Coordinator working with elders. I decided to join Golden Carers membership for activity ideas and chat forums. It has been the most wonderful experience and helped me immensely with the endless ideas and activities, I especially like the monthly Calander templates. It is an invaluable resource!
