Another fun game for the man with dementia in your life (or the lady, if she’s into sports or just has a competitive spirit) is Super Slam Basketball. In this tabletop game players use a spring loaded flipper to launch balls into the net. The electronic scoring device and timer keeps track of your points and counts down your time- nothing for the person with memory loss to have to remember except to shoot! Of course, it’s fun to challenge a fun, but it’s also fun to play by yourself! Again, the simple objective-score points-and ease of playing-just hitting the flipper-are both perfect for a person with memory loss who may be easily frustrated or overwhelmed by more complex tasks. You can buy this or similar games at toy stores or online.
