    Equipment: No equipment is needed, just a group of participants.

    Description: The objective of this activity is to work on teamwork, practice patience, and
    encourage all participants in the group.

    Steps:
    1. Introduce the activity to the participants, as well as the purpose of the activity.

    2. Explain that we will be starting with the first letter of the alphabet “A” and make sure the
    participants know the order of people sharing.
    3. Each person in the group will go in order and say the next letter and something that begins
    with that letter whether it is a name, an animal, a place, or an object.

    The goal of the activity is to try and get through the whole alphabet saying something for each
    letter.

    Primary Interaction Pattern: The interaction pattern is intra-group because it is of a


    cooperative nature by two or more persons intent upon reaching a mutual goal. The activity
    requires positive verbal or nonverbal interaction. This is because it is an activity taking place that
    involves a group involved in a common goal. This type of activity was chosen because it allows
    everyone to work off each other while going through the alphabet each letter at a time, which
    works on an individual’s ability to work with others and their attention. It requires people to
    actively listen to their peers.

    Adaptation: The early stage, which can be referred to as mild, has some challenges involved.
    For example, the inability to recall information that was just read, forgetting where an object is
    located, and finding it hard to interact with others when working or socializing. They may be
    able to still work and drive, but there is a possibility that they start to forget familiar words and
    locations to everyday objects. Some symptoms are being forgetful of past events or family
    history, finding themselves lost on multiple occasions, and confusion about where they are
    located or what day it is. For someone with early-onset dementia, some adaptations for this
    activity could be showing pictures for certain objects that begin with the letter you are
    discussing, so they have a visual of them. Taking things slowly with the participants, as well as
    repeating will help the activity go smoothly. This will allow them to hear what others have to say
    for a certain letter, which will provide more clarity. Finally, focus on their feelings throughout the
    whole activity making sure they understand what is going on and feel comfortable.

    Participant: 75-year-old woman diagnosed with early-onset dementia.
