A homemade
activity book
enables you to design and
adapt the content according
to the individual's needs.
Use a binder, page protectors and print your own content.
You may include:
- A simple story of the person's life
with family photos.
- Simple photos with either a title of
what the photo is or brief paragraph describing the picture.
- Large print, bold song lyrics.
- Adages and familiar slogans or jingles
- Cultural words (such as Yiddish or
Irish words, words from a profession or recreational activity such as
fishing rod, tackle and bait).
- Simple poetry, nursery rhymes or
rhyming
children's stories
- Holiday or religious symbols
- Pictures of favorite subjects such as
babies, food or animals.
The following links on my site will get you
started with pictures, an example of a personalized
story and song lyrics.
