Another great dementia activity(part 3)

After the discussion, it is time to play the game. Tell the group or individual again that each person is going to have a turn holding a baby photograph
 
Choose a person in the group to be the first contestant. You could be the first player to show everyone how the game is played.

Give the player a baby photograph
Tell all we are going to ask the you about the baby in the photograph.
.
Remember the lower functioning the group, the more detailed the hints have to be.
 
Also remember you may have to give the audience a choice of just two options We want this activity to be success oriented and failure free
 
Come back tomorrow for a sample list of hints
 
By Susan Berg author of Adorable Photographs of Our Baby-Meaningful Mind Stimulating Activities and More for the Memory Challenged, Their Loved Ones and Involved Professionals a book for those with dementia and an excellent resource for caregivers and healthcare professionals.
