Another grand dementia activity(part 6)
We have been talking about a game for those with Alzheimer’s, related dementias and other long term care residents. The game is called “Cards of Fortune”
Today we are going to discuss how to adapt and modify the game for higher functioning participants.
Ask harder questions
Ask a series of three or four questions. In order to keep their card, they have to answer all the questions correctly.
Have each person have at least two turns before you determine the winner of the round.
Make them add up their total winnings. Have them determine who the winner of the round is.
Have more bonus cards.Some which say that your earnings have been tripled.
TOMORROW-How to run the game with a mixed functioning group of players
Remember to leave your comments. I welcome questions.
