Word Lists and Letter Tiles

Word lists and letter tiles can be a highly engaging and beneficial activity for individuals with dementia. These activities can help stimulate cognitive functions, improve language skills, and provide a sense of accomplishment.

You will need a set of letter tiles (like Scrabble tiles or similar) and word lists that include simple, familiar words. You can create your own word lists or find them online. Explain the task to the participant. Show them the letter tiles and the word lists and explain how to form words using the tiles or identify words from the lists.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Forming words using letter tiles or identifying words from lists may enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
• Language Skills: Working with letters and words enhances vocabulary, spelling, and language abilities.
• Fine Motor Skills: Handling and placing the tiles improve dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
