Packet #33

Language

Are you looking for language activities for dementia patients? Language is a complex cognitive skill. It involves executive functioning, memory, and visual and auditory processing skills. Sometimes, people with dementia struggle with one or more aspects of language, such as word retrieval. That is why we developed this packet. We wanted to create a packet to help improve language skills that are often inhibited in individuals with dementia.

In this workbook, we have provided 4 exercises that target different cognitive skills involved in language skills. We have a verbal memory exercise, Words, Where are you? We have a visual attention exercise, Private Eye. Additionally, we have a word-categorizing activity, Secret Files, and lastly, a language-inferring activity, Embroidery.

This packet will be great to be used for seniors, anyone looking for printable activities for dementia patients, or anyone looking for language-based activities. If you love this packet, we highly recommend you try our digital program. Each one of these exercises is even better on the digital program. 

 

Included inside: 13 worksheets and bridging questions.

Embark on a semantic memory adventure with our comprehensive packet featuring 42 unique language activities. This packet is designed to stimulate various forms of semantic memory. Whether you’re looking to challenge spatial and verbal memory or enhance word recall and comprehension, this packet offers various engaging exercises to elevate cognitive skills.

Begin your journey with “Words, Where are You?”—an activity that tests spatial and verbal memory by prompting you to recall words and their locations on a grid. This serves as a warm-up to prepare your semantic memory for the challenges ahead. Next, dive into “Root it Out,” where you’ll challenge your ability to recall words through specific tasks, providing a fun and effective way to stimulate semantic memory.

Continue your exploration with “Split Words,” a puzzle activity that encourages you to connect broken words. This may foster connections and stimulate visual semantic memory. Lastly, immerse yourself in “This Story is Full of Blanks,” an expressive semantic memory exercise in which you fill in missing words from a word bank to complete the story or poem.

While some activities may require higher language functions, individuals of varying ages and cognitive abilities can benefit from this packet. While younger individuals may find certain tasks challenging. We believe that a 7th grader could successfully complete all activities with guidance and support. Adults of all ages and abilities should enjoy these activities. Your senior clients will have fun completing these challenges.

The digital exercises that inspired this worksheet

Secret Files

This exercise primarily targets concentration, working memory, and executive functioning skills. These cognitive skills are heavily used when we are problem solving. Because your client must use some degree of trial and error, they must remember which attempts were successful as well as which ones were not. They must then devise strategies that help them remember the category of each drawer and what words correspond to each category. We use these skills when we have to organize items in our home in a way that makes them accessible to us and presentable.

Private Eye

Primarily, this task exercises your client’s sustained attention and concentration skills. Attention is the essence of focus. Your client will need to focus on looking for a specific target and ignore other visual information that could distract them.

Words, Where are You?

Situations such as casual conversation or instructions from a doctor’s appointment require us to pay attention to the words we see and hear and assign relevant meaning to them. In this exercise, your client must memorize and correctly place the location of several words pictured on a grid. While abstract, this exercise challenges your client to develop strategies to assign meaning to incoming information in order to apply it for use at a later stage.

Embroidery

Can you scan a space for relevant information? Using visual scanning and verbal memory, look at a matrix of random letters to find a hidden word pertaining to a theme. This can be done timed or untimed.
