UP

The Tovertafel UP is a fun care innovation that encourages adults with a learning disability to take part in physical activity and social interaction. The challenging games can be played either independently or with supervision.

What is the Tovertafel UP?

Are you looking for a social and energetic activity for people with learning disabilities? The Tovertafel UP brings people with moderate to serious learning disabilities together in their natural surroundings. The result? A lot of fun and a lively and comfortable atmosphere. The games are unique because of their grown-up character and their accessibility for people with differing developmental levels. The Tovertafel has added value for each client: some actively join in on the fun, while others take part from a distance.

 

The Tovertafel is a little box that can be mounted on the ceiling, for instance, above the dining room table of a day care or care home. Inside the box is, among other things, a high-quality projector, infrared sensors, speaker, and processor that work together to project the games onto the table. Because the colourful objects respond to hand and arm movements, clients get to play with the light itself.

How was the Tovertafel developed?

Research is central to what we do. Not only did the Tovertafel emerge from the PhD research of Hester Le Riche, all our products are the result of a thorough design process. At Active Cues, we always have several students doing research for their studies.

 

We develop the Tovertafel games through the co-design method, working together with the target group and their environment. We talk with care workers and family members and each new game is tested with the clients. Because we actively involve them in the design process, we can tailor our products to their needs and interest, and thereby ensure that games will stimulate them as best as possible.

    Sandy Beach

    Tovertafel Original

    Look for hidden treasures in the sand together. The players are challenged to work together and encourage each other.

    A wave hides all kinds of recognisable objects in the sand. A piece of washed up driftwood shows the players what kind of item they can dig up. This sensory game promotes social interaction and creates many moments of happiness. Because there always is something to find and because the game responds to all kinds of movements, the game increases players’ confidence.

    Animal Puzzle

    Tovertafel Original

    Gather all the puzzle pieces and complete the puzzle. The puzzles contain pictures of animals.

    The Animal Puzzle game helps people with a learning disability to do a familiar action that is not always easy for them. When the players ‘take’ the pieces, they move into the right place automatically! The players can guess what the picture is while they complete it piece by piece.

    Paint Splatters

    Tovertafel Original

    Make a mess with paint without having to clean up afterwards, and together make an abstract work of art!

    The joyfully coloured Paint Splatters game motivates players to move. Their actions have immediate results and nothing can go wrong. Despite the physical component, the game also provides moments of calm. It can keep players occupied for hours!

    Moles

    Tovertafel Original

    Earn as many points as you can by hitting the moles on their heads!

    In the Moles game, you can earn a lot of points by paying close attention. The moles occasionally come out of their holes, and when they do, hit them on their head as quickly as possible! The game has different levels and is therefore also fun and challenging for those who are less interested in earning points.

Scientific research

The Tovertafel is based on scientific research. In her PhD research, Hester Le Riche studied how the physical and social environment affect activity among older people with dementia. She also did a literature study into their play experiences.
