OUR APPROACH

No-one needs to feel excluded - players' self esteem can be reinforced and they can grow in empowerment, because playing with these picture based resources can enable feelings of success without the stress or anxiety arising from "I cant do it OR I am not good at it."

The Picture Domino Cards - Colour Shapes, Poetry Bingo Cards and Jumbo Alphabet Letters are ideal for having fun with groups of all ages - either family, friends and grandfriends - in a nursing home, or on holidays; after a day out in the sun, on the beach or the ski slope, or at home relaxing together with mum, dad and the kids.

• They are large enough to be seen and used by people who are short sighted or have special needs.
• Playing games with these cards can be an empowering, fun and satisfying way to socialize. They stimulate memory, encourage players to think about their next moves and can engage everyone
