Reminiscence Bingo A group activity for your residents with memory loss.
The purpose of this great Montessori activity is to enable your residents to have fun playing bingo while stimulating their long-term memory, using their fine motor skills and practising their reading skills. This game can be played by 3 to 6 residents. Invite participants to sit around a table and give each of them 3 or 4 adapted bingo cards. These cards show one word that provides the answer to a question asked by the leader. For example: Complete this sentence: ”I look like a white broccoli, I am a…”.
With the help of all participants, find the answer by discussing. Then, the participant with the ‘’cauliflower’’ card will turn it down and place it in front of him. If the task is too difficult for him, everybody can help him do it. If you wish to have a winner, you can decide that the first one to have turned down all of his bingo cards wins. Each question is written on an 8½’’ X 11’’ laminated cardboard card that you can show to everyone while you read the question aloud. Each adapted bingo card is 3 ¾ ’’ X 8 ½’’ and is printed with very large black-on-white letters for maximum readability.
This idea was developed by Myers Research
Institute and has been tested and appreciated by hundreds of residents with dementia. We have adapted it with Canadian content.
New addition to the family, the set includes 24 questions related to food, 24 bingo cards. The rules and step-by-step procedures.
