Number Flash Cards

Number flash cards can be a highly effective activity for individuals with dementia. This activity helps stimulate cognitive functions, enhances memory, and provides sensory engagement.

Materials: A set of number flash cards can be purchased at Dollar Tree or Walmart or Amazon or homemade. Explain the task to the participant, showing them how to use the flash cards. You can start with simple tasks like identifying the numbers or matching cards with the same number or create a template with 6 to 10 random numbers to give to them and ask to find the matching numbers.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Number flash cards may enhance memory, attention, and numerical skills.
• Memory Reinforcement: Repeatedly seeing and identifying numbers can reinforce memory retention.
• Sensory Engagement: The visual stimulation from the colorful cards and the tactile experience of handling them can be soothing and engaging.
