Alphabet puzzles can be a highly beneficial and engaging activity for individuals with dementia. These puzzles can help stimulate cognitive functions, improve memory recall, and provide a sense of accomplishment.
You will need an alphabet puzzle set, which includes puzzle pieces shaped like letters and a corresponding puzzle board or mat. These puzzles can be made of wood, foam, or sturdy cardboard. Explain the task to the participant. Show them the puzzle pieces and the board and explain how to match each letter to its corresponding space.
