Product Description
Like the popular first volume, these 87 all-new activities will stimulate the minds, memories, and senses of older adults. Designed especially for individuals with early memory loss, the short, one-page worksheets strengthen brain functioning, promote social interaction, and provide hours of meaningful enjoyment.
Developed by two adult day service professionals and field-tested with individuals with early-stage Alzheimer's disease, these activities feature trivia and reminiscence. Organized into three categories (People, Places, and Things), fill-in-the-blank, matching, and brainstorming worksheets allow older adults to test their memory and gain new knowledge on a wide variety of topics including favorite music,
popular expressions, famous movies, historical leaders, prominent U.S. and world landmarks, celebrated athletes, and much more.
Strengthen Your Mind, Volume Two, can be used independently by older adults with memory loss or by activity staff and group leaders for discussion and programming ideas. Tips for engagement and an answer key are included for each activity.
Get this innovative book and provide older adults with leisure activities, learning experiences, and valuable brain exercise all at once.

Ideal for self-study or for use in working with anyone concerned about their mental faculties October 7, 2008
Strengthen Your Mind, Volume Two: Activities for People Concerned About Early Memory Loss is a book filled with reproducible (or consumable) pages of activities adults can perform to engage in a "mental workout", strengthening the brain and naturally staving off the decay of one's mental facilities. From matching a list of words for groups of people (such as "guild", "clique", or "crew") to their descriptions, to recalling words for the places animals live, to being prompted to remember common sayings that go with colors (like "To see things better than what they really are - rose"), Strengthen Your Mind, Volume Two is an excellent mental exercise book. Each activity sheet has its corresponding answers on the back for quick and easy reference. Ideal for self-study or for use in working with anyone concerned about their mental faculties.
