Magic Memories : a game people with dementia can play
Often people in the early stages of dementia lose their short-term memory but their ability to reminisce can be extraordinary. It is this ability which led to the development of the Magic Memories game. It is a simple game to aid reminiscence groups; is not competitive; and can be played in a variety of situations. Ideal for families or co-ordinators of residential and community based settings, the game allows the person with dementia an activity to play in a meaningful way.
The game contains an arrow spinner, 6 sets of question cards, rules and tips.
Cost is $70 which includes GST.
Magic Memories Quiz Edition
The Quiz Edition game is similar to the original Magic Memories game but is more challenging. It is ideal for families or co-ordinators of residential and community based settings.
