Outdoor Tools Images and Names

Outdoor tools images and names on cards or template can be an effective and engaging activity for individuals with dementia. This activity helps stimulate cognitive functions, enhances memory and recognition, and provides sensory engagement.

Collect images of various outdoor tools (e.g., shovel, rake, hoe, garden fork) and create matching cards with the names of these tools. You can use printed photos or drawings and write the tool names on separate cards. Explain the task to the participant. Show them how to match the image cards with the corresponding name cards.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Matching images with names may enhance memory, attention, and recognition skills.
• Visual Engagement: The visual stimulation from the images can be soothing and engaging.
• Language Skills: Naming and discussing the tools can enhance language skills and encourage conversation.
