We alway have a musical game once a week to help the patient think and remember things in the past.
We first put put some chairs in a circle and put some age appropriate music on . Then we pass a nerve ball around the room even tossing it to each other. We then stop the music and which patient have the ball have to answer a question about the song being played. we also use this same game with questions about themselves and others questions as well.

Have you tried to using a Gurdy Ball (good sensory balls various shapes and sizes) or a waited beach ball? Punching balloons are always great for a laugh I also use them to play Sporting Trivia Played to various kinds of music. I give our Guest a chance to choose the music and sometimes we will incorporate it into a sing-a-long. We pause the DVD and try to finish the song.

Good Luck!
