Vibrantly illustrated quiz questions and bite-sized fun facts, presented in a respectful way, clearly for adults (but fun for grandchildren too).

The problem: Do you find it hard to connect with a loved one with concentration problems? Is maintaining conversation tricky? Do they find it hard to focus, or to read more than a few lines of text? Are they missing out on a sense of achievement, or on having fun?

One solution: sharing a book of picture quiz questions and fun facts, created by an experienced adult education author, with input from a wonderful Assisted Living and Dementia Lifestyle Coordinator.

Tried and True Trivia Picture Quiz is a thoughtful gift or therapy tool for anyone with mild cognitive impairment, or regaining reading skills after stroke, as well as hospital patients and residents in aged care.

Just a little challenge: Each quiz page has a large colour photograph, with a quiz question and three possible answers. You can read this aloud to your loved one, or you can ask them to read and test you or another family member. It can be affirming for them to be the person with the knowledge!

Fun facts to hold interest: Every 5 quiz pages, there’s an answer page with a mini fun fact for each question – long enough to be interesting, but not too long. (You can go straight to the answer page after each quiz question, if that works best for your loved one.)
In Tried and True Trivia Picture Quiz, you’ll discover:

• Six sets of 5 questions and fun facts, for a ‘just enough’ reading and discussion experience, presented in a colourful, slim, light, 8 x 10 paperback, easy to hold.
• Questions that reflect life experience and general knowledge, for satisfaction in getting them right or in finding out something new.
• Extra large 22-point font for easy reading.
• No reference to dementia (or other illness) anywhere inside the book, or on the cover. The back cover says simply: “How’s your general knowledge? Keep your mind active as you test yourself or a friend. See if you know the fun facts!”
• The opportunity to enjoy other books in this memory-friendly quiz series. (Just click on the words Unforgettable Notes at the top of this page, under the title, to see a book display.)

Also perfect in waiting rooms, memory care programs and day activity centres, and for the vision impaired.

If you value spending meaningful time with a loved one, giving them the chance to shine, or to be in charge of the questioning, you’ll enjoy this book – together.
