Matching Tools with Their Names

Matching tools with their names can be a helpful and engaging activity for individuals with dementia. This activity stimulates cognitive functions and provides a tactile and visual experience. Collect a variety of tools (e.g., hammer, screwdriver, pliers) and corresponding name - use a word app to type and print out the names.

  • Cognitive Stimulation: Matching tools to their names helps enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
  • Language Skills: This activity can also support language retention and recognition.
  • Fine Motor Skills: Handling the tools and name cards can enhance dexterity and hand-eye coordination.
  • Sensory Engagement: The tactile experience of handling tools and the visual stimulation from reading names can be engaging.
