Match the Dots

Crafted especially for older people living with dementia and Alzheimer’s, every matching dominos game includes 21 tiles with 13 corresponding templates.

Start with a tile sorting template, and move on to the matching templates to increase the difficulty. Include 8 activities for Alzheimer and dementia patients.

The instructions detail how to find the appropriate level of challenge.

The packaging does not include any mention of dementia or Alzheimer’s so that you can give to an elderly loved one with confidence.

• The tile sorting templates are used to familiarize the player with the numbers. Each template shows one number at a time.
• Once the person can sort by number, use the matching templates to demonstrate how to connect the tiles by number.
• Next, fill in the empty spaces in the templates missing some pieces.
• Use the number matching templates to match the tiles numerically to the number written on the template.
• For added complexity, use the templates with 3 in a row to also connect the tiles by number - this is more difficult because the person has to match the tiles numerically and connect them according to the numbers on the other tiles.
• The game can be played alone or with multiple players. Players take turns connecting the tiles by number.
