Sequence

Sequence is a board game that can be modified to suit the needs of individuals with dementia. This game involves placing chips on a board to form a sequence of five in a row. Modifying it can make it easier to understand and play while still providing cognitive stimulation, social interaction, and a sense of accomplishment.

You will need a Sequence game set, which includes the game board, playing cards, and chips. Simplify the game rules to make it easier to understand. Focus on the basic objective of forming a sequence of three or five chips in a row. Keep game sessions shorter to prevent fatigue and maintain focus. Aim for a relaxed and enjoyable pace. Reduce the number of sequences required to win the game, for example, by making it three in a row instead of five. Or a single player can match the playing cards and put a chip down on each match. The player may stop at 10 chips down or 15 chips down, you can make up rules.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Planning moves and strategizing helps stimulate memory, attention, and problem-solving skills.
• Social Interaction: Sequence can be a social activity, providing opportunities for interaction and fostering friendships.
