Can you guess where this travel snap was taken? Vibrantly illustrated quiz questions and bite-sized fun facts, presented in a respectful way, clearly for adults (but fun for grandchildren too).
The problem: Do you have a loved one who finds it hard to focus, or to read more than a few lines of text – yet they’ve been an avid reader, a traveller, and a great source of general knowledge in the past?
One solution: sharing a book of picture quizzes and fun facts, created by an experienced adult education author, with input from a wonderful Assisted Living and Dementia Lifestyle Coordinator.
Where is it? Picture Quiz with Fun Facts is a thoughtful gift or therapy tool for anyone with mild cognitive impairment, or regaining reading skills after stroke, as well as hospital patients and residents in aged care.
Easy to read entertainment: Each quiz page has a large colour photograph, with a quiz question and three possible answers. You can read this aloud to your loved one, or you can ask them to read and test you or another family member. If they still have the reading skills, it can be affirming for them to be the person with the knowledge.
The questions vary from easy to quite challenging, but when you look at the three possible answers, you can eliminate the wrong ones.
Short fun facts: Every 5 quiz pages, there’s an answer page with a mini fun fact for each question – long enough to be interesting, but not too long. (You can go straight to the answer page after each quiz question, if that works best for your loved one.)
