Pool Table

Game description

Pool Table

Aim your shot and score! A classic pool table will spring to life before players, complete with balls and cues. A helpful white line guides the aim and players shoot by moving their hands forward. Teamwork makes the dream work, so everyone must work together to get the perfect shot. Ready, steady..and go! Let’s play a round.

Tips

Make the game more fun

• Form teams and decide who is aiming for striped balls and who is for solid ones. 
• Encourage physical activity by walking around the table to find the perfect shot position.

Level

Level 5

Level 5 games focus on the part of the brain that controls executive functions. Executive function is responsible for many skills, including planning and decision making. Note: level 5 games are too challenging for people in the middle and late stages of dementia.

Effect

• 

  Social effect

  Fun is something you experience with each other. Games that stimulate the social domain promote interaction and social contact between the care workers, players and visitors.

• 

  Physical effect

  Games with a physical component elicit intuitive movements and respond to even the smallest of hand movements of the players. This increases their self-confidence and motivates them to continue playing and moving.
