About the Flowers What's Missing? Game
A gentle, pretty deck featuring tulips, roses, sunflowers, daisies and more. A soothing option for seniors, or a lovely seasonal game in spring.
What's in the Flowers deck
The full deck, so you know what to watch for â 12 pictures: đˇ Tulipđš Roseđŧ Daisyđģ Sunflowerđ¸ Cherry Blossomđ Bouquetđĩī¸ Rosetteđē HibiscusđĒģ HyacinthđĒˇ Lotusđą Seedlingđ Bee
Study tip: link the first three â tulip, rose and daisy â into one ridiculous mental picture. Absurd images stick; lists don't. When a picture vanishes, replay the scene and ask what doesn't fit any more.
How to memorise a nature board
Nature decks are scenes waiting to happen. Put the sun or moon at the top of your mental image, weather in the middle band, and plants and terrain at the bottom â a three-layer landscape. When you need to recall whether the mushroom was there, you check the forest floor layer, not the whole board.
Use the seasons as a story spine: blossom, then fruit, then falling leaves, then snow. If the deck's items can be walked through in seasonal order once, the order itself becomes a checklist you can replay mentally whenever you are hunting a missing pair.
How to Play
- Press Start and memorise every picture on the board.
- After a few seconds the board hides and one picture is removed.
- Pick the missing picture from the answer choices.
- Each correct answer adds a bigger board. Three misses ends the game.

Nature deck questions
Do nature themes suit older players?
Yes â gardens, weather and landscapes are familiar at every age, which makes the boards friendly rather than childish. Many care-home activity sessions use exactly this kind of deck for gentle reminiscence.
How do I stop the green tiles blurring together?
Anchor on shape, not colour. A leaf, a fern and a clover are all green but wildly different silhouettes â memorise the outlines and the colour stops mattering.
