Guess Who with Familiar Faces
Setting: at a
table either indoors or outdoors.
Materials:
Guess Who Board
Game
Scissors
Index Cards
Marker
Pictures of the Family
Double Sided
Tape
Instructions:
Cut pictures out of individual family
member pictures and take double sided tape to tape the back of the picture to
the board game slots.
Use a marker and make your own cards that
say the family members name who is the “guess who” person.
Each person picks a card and continue to
go back and forth asking each other questions in hopes to identify the unknown
person before the other person guesses the card you had picked for them.
Purpose: This activity encourages critical
thinking and problem solving through verbal and visual cues of pictures and
descriptions to eliminate and identify the person chosen. If this activity is
incorporated with use of hand weights it could encourage not only problem
solving but also strength of the upper extremity and increase in range of
motion of the wrist, hand, and arm. This activity is good for people who had a
stroke or are suffering from early signs of dementia to keep them critically
thinking and problem solving and exercising their current ability.
