A dementia therapy method that involves PWD in playing music, particularly as part of an ensemble 'performing in concert', which provides a rewarding and encouraging result of utilizing abilities that they may not even know they had to produce pleasing music. This method utilizes musical instruments adapted for playing by PWD who can utilize procedural rather than declarative memory in playing. By connecting a plurality of the instruments to a central director's console the combined musical sound can be coordinated to make it pleasing. Then several PWD are trained to play components of songs together as an group. An example of our specially adapted musical instruments is an easily played percussion instrument having an organized layout of one or more tone bars that, when struck (or touched) by a player generate a musical tone. The instrument may be further adapted to ease its use by movement restricted players.

A memory engagement game is based on Montessori educational principles and employs elements of a trivia game and a bingo game. The game includes a game board having a plurality of openings, a movable cover associated with each opening, a plurality of game cards that can be inserted into the game board, and a plurality of calling cards. Each calling card displays a question, and each game card displays answers to each question. When a game card is inserted into the game board, the answers are in register with the openings. The player can move any given cover to mask the answer displayed in the associated opening. During play, the questions are read aloud and players cover the openings that display the correct answers. Play continues until one or more players covers all of the openings on his game board. The game improves the players' memories while permitting the players to socialize in a non-competitive environment.

A phonetic transliteration card display includes a display board to which a plurality of display cards can be secured removably. The card display enables a person who speaks a first language, but not a second language, to speak simple phrases in the second language and be understood by a listener who speaks only the second language. This result is accomplished by displaying a source phrase in the first language on each display card, along with a target phrase that constitutes a translation of the source phrase in the second language. A phonetic transliteration of the target phrase is displayed in the first language. When the phonetic transliteration is read aloud by the speaker, the listener will hear, and therefore understand, the target phrase. The cards can be color-coded by subject matter, if desired. The display board contains a chamber that permits a number of display cards to be stored. The display board is constructed such that a number of similar boards can be connected to each other. This permits a number of display cards to be viewed simultaneously.
