Missing Letters

Missing Letters is a fun and educational game that helps cognitive skills. Each page has a list of words with one or more letters missing from each word and an image associated with the word. The dementia participant, along with a set of letters, can use them to fill in the blanks. For early-stage dementia (D1), more missing letters are provided for each word.

• Cognitive Stimulation: Helps maintain cognitive abilities, such as memory, word recognition, and problem-solving. Participants need to recognize letters and understand word structure, reinforcing their memory of the alphabet and how letters combine to form words. Dementia often affects the ability to recognize letter patterns and word structures.
• Memory Recall: Completing missing letters helps dementia participants recall familiar words. Even if they have difficulty with word recall, this game engages their memory and helps them access words they know.
• Fine Motor Skills: Writing the letters or selecting the letter tiles improves hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
