Description;
★ They will be opted to either find an object that corresponds to the the given letter
★ Or to find the color of an object that corresponds to the color that the letter is filled in
with
★ For example; When the letter is black, you will find an object that starts with the letter
presented but if the letter is colored in, you will find an object that corresponds to
★ Participants will have 20 seconds to search for the object in whatever setting they
currently are at
★ If not back in time with the correct object when the 20 sec runs out they do not receive a
point, if they are with the correct item, they get 1 point
Interaction;
- This activity would be done within a group of people but the activity itself is done
contact with another person and the action is directed towards the individual finding and
grabbing an object on their own. This allows for the participant to have to use their own
thoughts and ideas to allow them to think of an object that may be close by. This activity
allows for movement and gets participants out of their seats while in an online setting in
Adaptation;
- For an individual who is 45 years old with Down Syndrome– Moderate cognitive
impairment, heart defect, and obesity, this may hold him back from having enough time
to move around efficiently without tiring out to find the object before the 20 second is
over. Since studies have shown the decrease in physical activity for individuals with DS
which can lead to other health problems like dementia or what this individual currently
has, the movement this game allows will give him some physical activity while engaging
in a mind game to increase his cognitive strength while overall having a fun time too. To
modify this for him, more time can be given to him. Also, an interactive way to add in a
break could be by after every other letter presented, he is allowed to think of one on his
own but find a photo on the internet, allowing him to relax and be prepared to get up and

search for the next letter presented. To also make this activity a bit easier to understand
and take part in, changing the rules to play off the participant only having to find the
object that corresponds to the given letter, not whatever color the letter is filled in with as
well. Also, to have a voice recording repeating out loud the letter as it is presented to the
individual to make it easier for them to begin to think of things to find nearby that
