Word Pop is good. There are also music apps, if you can tolerate the noise. Look for apps that read stories to the user, or books available on audio.

Tried jig saw puzzles with my husband. He used to like them. When I got the puzzle he didn't do anything with it until I got it out, turned all the pieces over and started working on it. He is now on his fourth puzzle and loving it. When he loses interest I just go over and start working on it and he will start working again. Great way to use some of this winter indoor time. Used to spend a lot of time walking around telling me how bored he was.

My dad does puzzles and we play Yahtzee all the time. I can’t manage to get him into other games so Yahtzee it is.

My husband looks at Facebook and plays hearts. He likes jigsaw puzzles. Otherwise, it’s tv. Wish he would find something else to occupy his time/mind but not interested.

My husband plays solitaire almost nonstop. Even while watching tv
