Target Mat Game

The Target Mat Game is a simple, engaging activity that is consistently popular in care homes, day centres, and hospitals. Designed to be inclusive and easy to set up, it encourages hand–eye coordination and gentle movement, making it an ideal addition to activity and exercise programmes for older people.

This sociable game is especially enjoyed by those living with dementia, as it sparks conversation, friendly competition, and memories of traditional fairground games. Developed and tested by Activities to Share, the Target Mat Game is proven to be effective in group settings and is widely used as a therapeutic activity for patients with Alzheimer’s disease.
