Matching Activity with Football Teams and Cities

Matching activity with images and names of football teams and their respective cities can be an excellent way to engage individuals with dementia. This activity helps stimulate cognitive functions, enhances memory recall, and provides sensory engagement.

Collect images of various football teams and create matching cards with the team names and their respective cities. You can use printed photos or find images online. Explain the task to the participant. Show them how to match the image cards with the corresponding name and city cards. Start with a simple demonstration of how to match an image card with its name and city. For example, show an image of the Bears and match it with the card that says "Chicago"
