(ho-dee-ay) Birds

(ho-dee-ay) is a photo-based game without rules developed for people with dementia and those who love & care for them.

Twenty-three pairs of vivid, colorful, dynamic bird photographs make up the original (ho-dee-ay) set. You'll see photos of songbirds, jays, shore birds, herons, geese, ducks, and raptors, all taken by Vermont photographer Peter Riley. There are no rules to the games you can play with these cards; however, included in each set is a list of suggested activities to get you started. Keep a set in your bag, in your car, in the nightstand, on your coffee table–and be ready to engage with friends, family, loved ones, or strangers. 

"My daughter bought the Birds set. It came last week. I just leave it on the table and my wife (who has Alzheimer’s) spends as long as I am at the table and seems to love the experience. It is a challenge and seems rewarding. It’s the only game she will work on without requiring help. It’s a big hit. Thanks so much for creating it." -Tom, OR
