. Jigsaw puzzles: Uses visuospatial function (The process to identify, process and store information from the eyes), in addition jigsaw puzzles are a relaxing 'game' that help reduce stress which may contribute to Alzheimer's progression.
. Scrabble: Uses memory and strategy in the game to form words that the patient can remember to improve neural connection
. Simple board games 'i.e.: snake and ladders': can help with Alzheimer as the game is simple for the patient to follow along and not stressful for them.
