Photo captioning is picking out pictures and having people caption them. This can be funny, serious, memorial, or whatever you want it to be. Pictures can be brought from home or cut out of a magazine or newspaper. One could really take this in any direction, whether wanting it to be a really fun time of connecting and sharing with each other, or having them point out different body parts/muscles/bones. After making the different pictures, have the clients put them up on a bulletin board so they can have a display of their work. Or, if the activity was involved enough, participants could each make their own photo album of their captioned pictures.
This would be a really good activity for people with dementia or Alzheimer's. It would be a really neat way for them to have their memories stimulated and for them to be oriented with reality. They may need help with writing, cutting out pictures, and even thinking of ideas, but it can still be their project and their caption.
