Improve social interaction, orientation, and concentration in adults
Recalling memories of past events is an important part of life review, which is a vital part of development in later life. The reminiscence format of this game addresses this goal in an enjoyable and therapeutic way. The game is directed at adults of all ages. It can be used in outpatient clinics, adult day care groups, nursing homes, senior citizens' centers or any group setting. Instead of numbers, the game uses everyday topics such as School and Work, Recreation, Family, Seasons, Weather, and Holidays. The game includes 12 player cards, 200 chips, a master sheet and master chips for the clinician and an instruction manual. Created by Sarah Austen, OTR/L.

PLAY Tip
Teaching Pull-To-Stand In Three Easy Stages
1. Sit the child on a bolster, seat or small physioball in front of a steady surface to pull up on. The child's feet should be firmly planted on the floor. Let the child grasp your hands and rise to standing.
2. Once that step is mastered, try starting the child from a kneeling position. Help them bring one foot forward first and then the other foot as they rise.
3. Then try starting from a sitting position. The feet must swing to the side, then the child moves to an all-fours kneeling position, and then pulls to stand.
This activity helps children develop strong shoulder muscles and general stability. It is especially appropriate for children who have general developmental delays or Down syndrome.
