Tips for Completing the Spark Your Mind Activities

Choose Your Moment: Experts generally recommend doing these activities and games in the morning, between 9 and 10 a.m., when concentration is at its highest.
Offer Encouragement and Support: If the person you are accompanying is not able to do the activity, enjoy the time you have together and discuss the pictures, or move on to another activity.
Ask Open-Ended Questions and Adapt the Activity if Needed: Use a sheet of paper to hide a part of the game if the person seems distracted by the items on the page or if the activity is too long for them. Use a pencil and an eraser; feel free to erase and start again!
Trust Yourself! Taking time to do activities is very valuable. The most important thing is to have fun!
