Download or read book Alphabet Category Listing Game written by Actionage Press and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-07 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Memory game for Dementia and Alzhiemer's patients The Alphabet listing game is a simple, memory recall based activity book for Dementia and Alzhiemer patients. It is developed specifically for those suffering from Dementia and Alzheimers, or other senior citizens who may be showing signs of memory loss. Importantly, the book does not specifically imply that the user is suffering from dementia, which is often a trigger cause for many Dementia Suffers. Rather, it contains general information for carers, but also information for those who do not require assistance. This game is designed for one reason, to help improve the memory recall of seniors (while entertaining them)! How does it work? The rules are very simple! All the user has to do is try to name one word beginning with each letter, for your chosen category. For Example, if you were to choose the category 'Boys Names', the list may look like this: A: Alan B: Benjamin C: Charles D: ......... Although extremely simple, activities such as this have been shown to help slow memory loss. It is also a great source of entertainment, which can be played individually or as a group in seniors' homes etc. The book uses large, easy to read font and an extremely easy to understand layout, tailored specifically for seniors with dementia. Down the bottom of each page, you also have the option to count your score (how many you get out of 26) as well as time how quickly you can finish each game. These are both optional, but are great for cares and family members tracking the progress of their patients. For carers, it may be easier to work with your patient, and help by writing down the answers and giving hints to encourage answers. Again, play this game how it suits your situation! It is also recommended that you make a 'routine' out of this game for your patients, e.g. play one game per day, as consistency is key to memory recall! You may also like to repeat categories over time, so that you can track progress in both scores and time taken. It is amazing the patterns that you may find. Book Features: 8.5 x 11 inch - Large, spacious pages List of categories 96 category pages (Play the game 96 times!) Printed on white paper for maximum clarity Soft Cover Perfect bound
