Matching Kitchen Appliances with Their Names

Matching kitchen appliances with their names is an excellent activity for individuals with dementia. It helps stimulate cognitive functions, improve memory recall, and provide sensory engagement.

Collect images of various kitchen appliances and create matching cards with their names. Some common appliances to include are:

• Toaster
• Blender
• Microwave
• Coffee Maker
• Refrigerator
• Stove
• Mixer
• Kettle

Explain the task to the participant. Show them how to match the image cards with the corresponding name cards. Start with a simple demonstration of how to match an image card with its name card. For example, show an image of a toaster and match it with the card that says "Toaster." 

• Cognitive Stimulation: Identifying and matching appliances with their names may enhance memory, attention, and recognition skills.
• Memory Recall: The activity can trigger memories of cooking and kitchen experiences, encouraging reminiscence.
