Thank you so much! My Mum was asking for these puzzles but I had no idea where to buy a book or magazine of these. Mum is 96 and has very poor vision and this is all she can manage these days as far as puzzles go. She will be very happy to have these. Thank you again!

Nine (9) Letter Word games are great fun for residents. It involves thinking, finding words, creating words, and brainstorming. Sometimes I give them clues. They collaborate together to find the 9-letter words. 

You Will Need:
Whiteboard
Whiteboard Markers
Lists of Nine Letter words (e.g Beautiful), then scramble the letters.

The sisters at SSND really enjoy these puzzles. Every week I print out BIngo sheets and call numbers for them to do in their rooms over the weekend and I like to include an extra chance to win if they don't get a bingo. I put different brain busters on each week. They can try to solve riddles or rebuses or the magic math squares or these word puzzles. I give them one candy bar if they can find 25 words and 2 candy bars if they come up with 50 or more. This challenge is by far the favorite! Many like it better than the bingo.

Hi Sondra
When I played bingo with some of the residents we did not clear the cards until there were three Bingos
This way more people can win
