Gossips: No Memory Loss to Early Stage Memory Loss

For seniors with no memory loss to those in the early stages of dementia, I developed a new memory and concentration card game, which features images from The Saturday Evening Post cover dated March 6, 1948, entitled “Gossips.” This famous cover has fun image pairs of men and women gossiping. The card game is similar to MatchMate, where players must find the matching card. The hilarious images feature similarities that encourage the players to watch for detail, and draw on their memory and problem-solving skills to match the cards. With fifteen different pairs showcasing hairdos, hats, caps and other great fashions from that era, the game also encourages conversation and reminiscing.

All three of these memory card games are great brain exercises, in addition to being wonderful for players’ memory recollection, concentration and problem-solving skills, and hand-eye coordination. The images from The Saturday Evening Post covers, with their power to prompt reminiscing, help make both games the best memory activities and brain exercises on the market.

I designed these games to meet the needs of people with Alzheimer’s and dementia, and I remain committed to meeting those needs. If I find something isn’t working, I will change it. If you are looking for beneficial memory and brain exercise activities that your elderly residents or loved ones will enjoy, MatchMate, What’s Mis ing?and Gossips are exactly what you need.
