This picture domino game is a printable large print game for seniors in aged care
Picture dominoes replace the traditional numbered dots with brightly coloured images, making the game accessible to residents who respond better to visual cues than to counting. It suits group play at an activity table or in a common room, and can also be run as an one-to-one matching activity for quieter sessions. Lifestyle coordinators looking for picture memory games for adults will find the themed sets give each session a natural conversation focus.

- Reminiscence prompt: Use the At the Beach or Wild Animals tiles as a conversation starter before or after play, asking residents about memories connected to the images.
