Packet #62

Semantic Memory Activities

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.

What is inside: 42 unique semantic memory activities and bridging questions.

The digital exercises that inspired this worksheet

Root it Out

In everyday life, we like to share jokes, things we have learned, and things we find amusing. Sometimes, accessing our memory to retrieve information for use on the spot can be very difficult. In this exercise, your client will be presented with the root of a word and they must derive as many words as they can using the root that they are given. While this exercise targets verbal memory and fluency, it can also help with word formation and learning by trial-and-error.

Split Words

While highly verbal, this exercise also challenges working memory and spatial navigation. On a grid, your client must put together word fragments in order to create a logical word that pertains to a particular category. Your clients will practice deriving meaning from details, using context clues, and exploring space to collect relevant information. This exercise carries over to everyday tasks, such as reading an article or searching a web-page for relevant information.

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.

This Story is Full of Blanks!

Using context clues given in text, your client must complete a passage by correctly filling in the blanks with the right words. In situations where we encounter ambiguities, we must use knowledge we have at present in order to solve problems. Examples of situations where using context clues is important for problem solving include “reading a room” of people and reading a text where one may encounter unfamiliar words.
