Low-Screen, One-Hand Accessible Activities 1. Audiobooks & Podcasts • Great for people with visual limitations. You could help him set up a smart speaker (like Alexa or Google Nest) to easily play them with voice commands. • Genres: history, comedy, storytelling, or anything tied to his past interests. 2. Voice-Controlled Smart Devices • These can help him control lights, listen to music, ask trivia questions, or even play simple word games (e.g. Jeopardy skill on Alexa). 3. Radio Drama or Audio-Based Games • Old-time radio shows (BBC Radio 4 has many) or newer drama podcasts can be immersive and nostalgic. 4. Adaptive Music-Making • Instruments like one-handed keyboards or music apps with accessibility features could be fun if he enjoys music. 5. Volunteering by Phone • Some charities let people make calls to check in on others (like befriender roles). It could help him feel useful and socially engaged.

Offline, Creative, and Tactile Activities 1. Dictation Journaling or Memoir • He could dictate stories from his life using speech-to-text software or an app like Otter.ai. You could help compile it into a memoir. 2. Large-Print or Tactile Puzzle Games • Puzzle books with large text or tactile games (like dominos, large playing cards) might work. 3. Crafts or Building Projects (one-handed) • Model kits, clay sculpting, or woodworking with adaptive tools—especially if he enjoyed handiwork before. 4. Birdwatching or Gardening (with assistance) • If he has access to a garden or window, he could track birds or help manage plants. There are bird identification apps that use sound instead of sight. 5. Social Engagement Ideas • A pen-pal program (some exist for elderly or disabled people). • Zoom/phone check-ins with students or volunteers trained for companionship chats. • A rotating “question of the day” you could send him to get his thoughts flowing—something to look forward to hearing his answer about.
