Bingo-Mémoire “Proverbes et chansons”

Memories to share, songs to hum and fun with every answer!

With Bingo-Mémoire, every question becomes a chance to bring back precious memories! Specially designed for people living with cognitive impairments, this group game invites residents to complete songs, recall familiar words and talk about shared memories.

The principle is simple: gather 3 to 6 participants around a table and give each one 3 to 6 cards, each showing a word. The leader then asks questions that draw on long-term memory. For example: “Complete the Fernand Gignac song: Donnez-moi des…”. Participants can look for the answer together, by talking it over or even singing! Whoever holds the “roses” card turns it over. The first player to turn over all their cards wins the game.

Bingo-Mémoire promotes:

• Reminiscence and long-term memory
• Reading and word recognition
• Verbal expression and communication
• Fine motor skills and handling cards
• Social interaction and the pleasure of sharing memories

A warm, friendly activity where memories, songs and conversation take centre stage. Perfect for leading small groups in residences and creating lovely moments of connection!
