As an activity coordinator in aged care, I’ve found that incorporating visual aids, such as flashcards, during quiz time greatly enhances engagement, particularly for seniors in more advanced stages of Alzheimer’s or dementia. Our Landmark Quiz with Flash Cards is a prime example of this approach, making the experience enjoyable and accessible. By providing these visual cues, seniors can better recall iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, and the Great Wall of China, promoting cognitive stimulation in a fun and interactive way.
