Equipment needed:

Sheets of foam, of many colors and patterns

Cut out a few shapes out the foam

Once you have all the shapes, cut them up in the center to have create halves
of the shape

Activity Description:
The therapist can have each individual sit at a table and put shapes back together with
the same pattern and color. Each individual can have up to 15 shapes for them to put
together.

The primary function of the activity to work on the cognitive memory skills by,
remembering the shapes and patterns to fit together while also working on motor skill by
having a on hand activity.

The adaptation to this game is the focus on memory. This activity makes you focus on
the color and pattern to remembering which half goes with the other half to create a
whole. This activity is for the population of Alzheimer’s disease, people diagnosed with
this can have difficult speaking, therefore I created it to be extraindividual.
