World Landmarks Activity Cards for Seniors | Real-Photo Memory, Matching & Reminiscence Games

Explore the World Through Photographs, Conversation and Connection

Bring famous places from around the world into your activity room with this flexible collection of real-photo landmark cards for older adults.

World Landmarks Activity Cards can be used for armchair travel, reminiscence, conversation, visual recognition, matching, sorting, memory games, group lotto and relaxed one-to-one engagement.

The activity does not depend on residents remembering landmark names. A comment, preference, memory, choice, gesture, smile or moment of quiet attention can all be meaningful forms of participation.

Flexible for Different Abilities

The activity director can use fewer cards, provide larger photographs, ask one question at a time or invite residents to respond by speaking, pointing, touching or choosing.

Activities can be cooperative rather than competitive, helping residents participate comfortably without making the experience feel like a test.

Preparation

Print the card pages on cardstock or heavier paper and cut along the outlines.

Alternatively, leave the A4 pages uncut and use them as lotto boards or matching mats. Print a second copy to create the individual matching cards.

Optional card backs are included for double-sided printing. Printer settings vary, so printing one test page first is recommended.

Lamination is optional and allows the materials to be reused.
