Tongue Twisters for seniors
By Creative Carer
When mum was diagnosed with dementia in 2012, I made it my mission to give her the best quality of life that I could. I found all sorts of ways to keep her happy and engaged over the years. My touch screen laptop became an integral part of our daily activities … we used it to play online games, to watch funny videos … and also for tongue twisters.
Tongue twisters are those fun but sometimes very annoying patterns of words that rhyme or start with the same letter and are always difficult to say clearly without laughing!
As well as being a fun way to pass some time, tongue twisters are an easy way to engage with someone who has mild to moderate dementia.
They provide an opportunity for cognitive stimulation via reading words on a screen and pronouncing tricky word combinations. They stimulate the memory and also give an opportunity for positive social interaction. Tongue twisters have been found to enhance speech motor control, stretching and strengthening the muscles that we use to speak.
My mum remembered all the tongue twisters and funny ditties she knew from her childhood … we had so many laughs recalling them and watching nursery rhyme videos. I felt it was a fine line though. I didn’t want her to feel I was treating her like a child. I was always careful not to patronise her … very occasionally she would say to me “these are for children” and I’d agree and say “Yes they are! What wonderful memories they bring back to me … do they bring happy memories back to you? Would you like to keep watching this video?” She always wanted to keep watching … but I was acutely aware of how clever she was. Dementia may have destroyed parts of her brain, but mum was an incredibly intelligent lady and I always respected that.
I hope you enjoy this video of mum that I took in 2017 … we were having a lot of fun with a YouTube Tongue Twister video ...
