What are the best games to play with seniors living with dementia?

  • Leaves

    A firm favourite, this game activates players to swipe the swirling leaves off the table and enjoy the rustling sounds. Great for individuals and groups as an activity, it gives seniors living with dementia the feeling of being outside and keeps their attention.

  • Sheet Music

    This game allows elderly people living with dementia to be active without even noticing it. When players touch a music note, a familiar tune is played. And it can’t go wrong, as there are no false notes. The players can enjoy listening to the music and make music themselves.

  • Molehunt

    A nostalgic nod to amusement park experiences, this game encourages players to push moles back in their holes as fast as possible. Stimulating seniors living with dementia to move their arms faster and further as the moles appear.

  • Bob van Dyk
    President - Van Dyk Health Care


    The great thing about the Tovertafel is the interaction it generates between our residents and to see how they respond and become more engaged. It really makes a difference!

  • Pam Tokarczuk
    Alzheimer’s and Dementia Program Director - Van Dyk Health Care

    Social distancing may have reduced the number of people using the Tovertafel at the same time, but it hasn’t reduced the opportunity to share laughter and joy... It’s awesome.

  • Ildiko Pikali
    BSW, ADC Director of Life Enrichment Horizon House

    We are incredibly grateful for what it is giving our residents on a daily basis here at Horizon House. Having the Tover has been magnetic; it has inspired joy, connection and engagement that we couldn’t of foreseen.
