Presentation – explain what you will do together, in a calm and fun way. Make reference to the well-known and beloved Domino game we all grew up with. Explain that the rules are a little different. The whole game is no, to have a winner, ie. the game is not competitive, as is the case with Domino, but to standardize our “gray cells”. It’s all about arranging all the available Domino sticks correctly. Ask the person with dementia or syndrome to remove the tiles from the game from the Memory Box. Turn all the tiles with the symbols so that you can see them all. Select the first tile and place it in the middle. Then visit you can find and place a tile.
At the end of the game, congratulate yourself on a job well done and put the Dominoes together in the Memorial Box for the next time.
