Andrew's Cards is a conversational card game for people with a learning disability. The aim is to enable individuals to get to know new friends or new support staff in a relaxed and fun way by talking about likes, dislikes and everyday activities. This is intended to support a change such as moving to a shared home or care home with new housemates or residents, getting to know a new personal assistant or support worker, or any change that involves meeting new people.
Andrew's Cards has been co-designed and tested with people who have a learning disability including some with dementia, social care staff from care homes and learning disability service providers. The game is based on the quality of life domains of having a safe and stable home (physical wellbeing), being respected and feeling heard (rights and social inclusion), having choices (self-determination) and having meaningful relationships (emotional wellbeing). This is presented in the game as four colour-coded categories of at home, favourite things, knowing me and for fun.
How to play Andrew's Cards
How to play Andrew's Cards
- Place the coloured cards face down in four piles, red, blue, green and yellow.
- Roll the dice for your colour of question, blue, red, yellow or green. This is asked by the person on your right or by one agreed question-master. If you land on pink, you can roll or spin again, if you land on purple, you miss a turn.
- When it is your turn to roll you can answer the question first, then all other players answer the same question in turn. You can choose not to answer a question as many times as you wish by showing your pass card. When everyone has answered who wishes to do so, the next player then rolls the dice for their colour of card.
