Easy November Activity Packet for Memory Care, Large Print Dementia Activities, Thanksgiving & Veterans Day Puzzles PDF

An easier version of our November activity packet, made for memory care: the same themes and the same checked facts, with bigger print, smaller puzzles, word banks and two-choice trivia. For activity directors at memory care, assisted living and adult day programs, and for families who do activities with a loved one at home.

EXTRA LARGE PRINT. Body text is at least 20 point and puzzle letters are 26 point or larger, set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface designed for low-vision readers. One activity per page, with plenty of white space. Every puzzle is checked by computer, so each one has exactly one right answer.
