Mental Aerobics

Mental Aerobics is a groundbreaking manual whose ideas can be used by a wide variety of personnel in health care and education settings.

This manual includes: A wide variety of games and activities!

The activities are divided into sections: Quizzes, Word Games, Grammatical Games, Lists and Categories, International Activities, News Related Activities, Special Holidays, Seasonal Activities, Memory Games and Miscellaneous. Each different section of activities begins with a well-defined "Therapeutic Rationale" to help the user understand the tangible benefits of each division.

Activities based on "universal" themes such as early days, travel, religion and general knowledge are familiar to participants and hence, more effective especially as cognitive abilities decline. An easy to use section on grading and modifying activities guides the facilitator to tailor the level of challenge to the group being catered to. This manual is useful to professionals beginning to practice as well as seasoned staff looking for new ideas.
