This year may be the last time my mother, father, sister and I are all together for Christmas and I have been thinking desperately of games that we can play that could involve my Dad.
His memory is (obviously) poor, although he can recognise music and family events from decades ago. He can talk, but his vocabulary is becoming increasingly limited, and he struggles to understand new concepts - and certainly cannot think laterally.
So quizzes are out - even basic ones - as are memory games.
Music might be a possibility - but more as participation than answering questions about it.
I did think that a dexterity game, such as Jenga, or a more basic equivalent, might be a possibility.
I wondered whether any of you might have any ideas, please?
Thank you.
