This is a very simple and fun game that I use in memory care. You don't necessarily need any materials, just brains for thinking but I use a white board and markers to write down everything listed.
First pick a category. You can tailor these to fit your surroundings but ones I use are: Animals, Food, Places, Names, Games, and Movies/TV.
Start with the letter "A" and list things in that category that start with that letter and go through the whole alphabet.
Example: Animals
Anteater, antelope, ape
Bear, bobcat, barracuda
Cat, camel, cougar...etc.
My residents love this and it's a fun easy way to make them use their brains!
