What better way to stimulate your residents than with a sorting game that offers endless variations? With Marbellino, your seniors can support their motor and cognitive skills through the simple pleasure of playing!
The game is easy to set up: just take out the tray with 6 circular slots in different colors, the wooden tongs, the two sizes of colored balls, the game cards and the dice. Then, your less autonomous seniors can start by performing simpler tasks such as sorting the balls by color with their hands, or practicing their grip with the wooden tongs. For their part, your more autonomous seniors can complete the challenges suggested by the cards provided, or shuffle the dice for ever-new missions. In all cases, your seniors will be able to sort by color, number or size.
Marbellino is a wonderful game for practicing essential life skills such as dexterity, patience, concentration and precision. Experimenting these skills is excellent for enabling your seniors to retain their independence for longer in certain everyday activities, such as fastening buttons or holding a pencil to write. As they progress through Marbellino and are able to perform increasingly complex tasks, you’ll see a valuable impact on their self-esteem. It’s a simple but effective way of contributing to their development and quality of life.
