Reminisce and Match - Fishing Edition

Bring the joy of a day at the lake indoors with Reminisce & Match – Fishing Edition, a hands-on sensory activity designed especially for seniors living with dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or memory loss.

Players choose an illustrated card, then search through the themed fishing bag to find the matching item. Familiar objects such as a fishing lure, measuring tape, compass, sunglasses, gloves, tackle box, fish, and more encourage recognition, conversation, and meaningful engagement.

The activity can be completed independently, one-on-one with a caregiver, or as a small group activity, making it a versatile addition to memory care programs, adult day centres, and family visits.

Each item has been carefully selected to spark memories of fishing trips, favourite lakes, family outings, and outdoor adventures.
