Why Choose This Activity
Find Symbols works well when someone enjoys scanning a busy board and following a clear sequence. It fits Memory Care and Sharp Mind paths and rewards careful reading of the prompt before each tap. Start with fewer symbols on the board for a gentler first session.
Many ordering modes (numbers, letters, even/odd, alternating) and adjustable symbol count let you match both skill and attention span.
How It Plays
Symbols appear scattered on the board and a prompt tells you what to find next (for example the smallest number). Tap the correct symbol; it flashes green and disappears. Wrong taps flash red. Keep going until every symbol is cleared from the board.
Settings & Difficulty
Levels: No difficulty settings
- Modes: numbers, letters, even/odd, gaps, and number-letter alternation (ascending or descending)
- Symbol count: 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 16, or 20 on the board
- Correct taps disappear; no sound or music
Facilitator Tips
- Start with 3 or 4 symbols and Numbers ascending before trying mixed or gap modes.
- Read the prompt aloud - ascending means small to large, descending means large to small.
- Encourage scanning the whole board before tapping; the next symbol can be anywhere.
- Even/Odd and Gaps modes add variety once basic ordering feels comfortable.
- Changing mode or symbol count after Start restarts the game.
