Dominoes - Large

Play with others or match the dominoes end to end as an individual activity.

This activity is ideal for a person with mid to late stage dementia.

How to use with a person living with dementia:  Place the dominoes in front of the participant and ask them if they would like to place the dominoes end-to-end with matching dots, if they seem interested in participating, show them how to do it, then invite them to try, if they manage to match the dominoes and they seem to be content to continue, encourage them to continue.

If when they attempt to match the dominoes, they seem unable to complete the matching exercise according to your example, as long as they are content to continue, encourage their continuation and DON’T try to correct the person.

The objective of this or any activity is for the person to be content and comfortable engaging in the activity in which ever way they are comfortable to do so. Do NOT correct the person if they don’t follow as instructed. Simply encourage their participation.
