Why is it so important to get dementia education in schools?
A third of young people know someone living with dementia. With the number of Australians living with dementia expected to triple to 900,000 by 2050, most of today’s youths will come to know or meet someone with the condition.
Two thirds of children tell us that they would like to help someone with dementia but that a lack of understanding could be holding them back.
The stigma experienced by people living with dementia is real and common. Over 55% of children believe that if people knew more about dementia life would be better for those with the condition.
Program Strengths
The program is evidence-based. It is founded in current literature and findings from focus groups with children, with people with dementia and their relatives.
The program has been developed by a team of teachers, children, people with dementia, and academic experts.
It is purposefully designed to fit with school Stage 3 PDHPE (NSW), English and Science Skills and Knowledge and Understanding Outcomes
We know that teachers are busy. Thus the only prep that you may have to do is print worksheets before class.
We also know that teachers have complex schedules. Thus, there is no order to the modules; you are free to pick and choose which module you would like to use when.
It is free. You will need to print some worksheets, but apart from that, no other resources are required.
The program aligns with the NSW Quality Teaching Framework and Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians.
A research team member will be available to support you with any questions that arise during your school’s involvement.
Welcome to the Kids4Dementia Education Program!
Introduction
Dementia is one of the biggest health problems facing Australia and the globe today. By 2050, 900,000 Australians will be living with the condition. The stigma experienced by people with dementia is real, common, and often devastating. Kids4Dementia is focused on tackling this stigma by changing attitudes at a generational level - creating positive attitudes amongst today’s children. Through an engaging story, using animation, real-life videos and many fun activities, Year 5 and 6 students will learn that a person with dementia is “still a person”, and not someone to fear, laugh at or ignore. Children are our future citizens. They will grow up to be doctors, teachers and leaders of tomorrow. Educating the next generation about dementia is the foundation to a dementia-friendly society.
VISION: A dementia-friendly society; a society where people with dementia are recognised as valued
citizens and supported to remain meaningfully engaged with the community and in daily life.
MISSION: To increase awareness and understanding of dementia
GOAL: To successfully deliver a message that de-stigmatises and raises awareness and understanding in youth of dementia
We hope that your class will have fun learning about dementia through the engaging animated story of Ollie a 10-year old boy, Ruby his 12-year-old sister, and their Pops - who they have noticed is starting to act a little differently than usual. The program also features videos of people with dementia and child relatives of people with dementia talking candidly about the condition.

How does the program work?
The program consists of seven short modules.
The program must start with the introductory module: “M1: What is Dementia?” After that, you
can choose the order of modules - the modules are numbered only for ease of use, and not to
specify a particular order.
Each module must be followed by the accompanying activity, either within class or to complete as
homework (if possible). All of the activities are paper-based, except for M4: What Causes
Dementia?”, which is an online interactive brain and quiz.
The time specified for each module (see Table 1) is the recommended time - you are welcome to
spend more time on the activity.
We ask you to deliver at least five of the seven modules (you can, and we encourage you to do all
seven if you have time). In addition to the mandatory introductory module “What is dementia?”
one of the five modules must include “How does it feel for the family?”
If you have no strong preference for a particular module, then we recommend the above two, plus
“What can we do?”; “What happens in nursing home?”; and “How does it feel to have dementia?”
The education program concludes when at least five modules have been viewed, and each
accompanying activity completed. At the end, we encourage you to award participating students
with the certificate provided (see Appendix).
How much time is required?
Prior to the program start, we ask you to obtain written parental consent for children to participate
in the program and complete the questionnaires (we provide the documentation).
Completion of five modules and activities will take between 100-115 minutes, i.e. approximately
four 25-30 minute classes; although some activities could be completed as homework and will
reduce class time.
The program is to be delivered over a minimum of four weeks and within one term. Spacing the
modules allows the children to reflect, consolidate and review the information learnt and thus
enable more effective and longer-lasting learning.
Students will complete two sets of questionnaires, once before the program and once after the
program, to evaluate whether Kids 4 Dementia improves knowledge and attitudes towards people
(20 - 30 mins per set).
Teachers record students’ completion of each module/activity and provide feedback on each
module (see the Student Record Sheet and Teacher Feedback Sheet at the end of this guide).
At the end of the education program, the research team may invite the teacher and a few students
to provide feedback on the program via an interview or focus group (between 20 – 60 minutes
duration).
What do I need?
The equipment to play animations/videos to a class.
Access to a printer to print the activities and worksheets

Who is the program for?
The program is targeted towards Year 5 and Year 6 classes; typically students aged between 10-12
years old.
Why learn about this at school, and not at home?
It is recommended that parents have conversations about dementia with their children. However,
parents may not initiate conversations about dementia because of limited time, low confidence in
their own dementia knowledge, or because they want to shield children from information about
health and disease.
Research shows that youth may show more favourable attitudes towards stigmatised others when
extra-familial rather than parental sources provide the information.
What will my Class Learn?
Your class will learn that dementia is:
• Common
• More than just memory loss; that it is diverse and different for everyone
• Unpredictable,
• Progressive, and that there is no cure yet
• Not contagious
• Not just an old person’s condition
• No-one’s fault
• Okay to talk about
• Life-changing for the family living alongside a loved one with dementia
Your class will learn that people with dementia:
• Are not someone to be afraid of or ignore
• Are still people, that they are still someone’s grandma or grandpa, or mum or dad
• Should be treated with respect and kindness
• Do not need a good memory to have a good time
Your class will also learn:
• How to best relate to a person with dementia; the importance of a smile and touch
• Activity suggestions for things to do with a person with dementia
• Ways to keep our brains healthy
• The different functions/parts of our brain
• The importance of aged care facilities and how visits can make them more fun
• Some simple genetics about dementia

Special notes
Why might social activity reduce our risk of developing dementia?
We are not sure why people who are socially active (e.g. meet with friends, are part of a social group,
go to family parties) have a slightly reduced risk of developing dementia. Research in this area is
ongoing. There are a few ideas as to why it might be so. For example, we use lots of different parts of
our brain when we are social; which of course, is good for the brain. Being social can also improve our
mood and our health, and both may be associated with a lower chance of developing dementia.
What about the genetics of dementia?
Many people with dementia fear that their condition may be passed on to their children. Family
members of people with dementia are sometimes concerned that they might be more likely to develop
dementia themselves. However, for most of the dementias, we still do not comprehensively
understand the contribution of genetics to the disease. The most common form of dementia is late-
onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Twin and family studies suggest that there is a genetic component to
this disease but also suggest that environmental factors play a role. The major genetic risk factor for
late-onset AD is a variant of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene. Although your risk may be increased for
late-onset AD if you have the APOE gene variant, known as APOE ε4, it does not mean that you will
definitely develop the disease. Researchers are identifying other genetic risk variants, but these variants
increase your risk by a much smaller amount compared to the APOE ε4 variant. Some forms of the less
common disease, younger-onset AD, are inherited. Individuals who have inherited these rare genetic
mutations will develop AD earlier in their life (before the age of 65). Vascular dementia is the second
most common form of dementia, and currently we know less about the genetics of this disease.
Genetics also plays a role in fronto-temporal dementia (FTD). Sometimes FTD can be common in
families and in a proportion of cases the disease is caused by an inherited single gene
mutation. However, we still do not understand the role of genetics in many FTD cases. There is lots of
research currently being conducted into the genetics of the different types of dementia. It’s important
to work out the answers, but for now what we know about preventing dementia is that we can do lots
ourselves to ensure that we have a healthy brain and body.
What about Sleep?
A healthy brain is linked to a healthy body – and a healthy lifestyle can help look after both. Getting
enough sleep, including not having disrupted sleep (such as waking in the night, or shift work) is part of
a healthy lifestyle. There is a lot of research looking at the relationship between sleep and dementia.
This is a complicated area because scientists are still working out a lot of things about why we sleep in
the first place. It is very early days but research seems to be suggesting that it is important to get
enough sleep - studies have shown a link between a higher risk of getting dementia and poor sleep
(deprivation or disruption). We don’t yet have information from long term studies to know whether the
risk is highest after many years of a poor sleep pattern or after a sudden change.

Introductory Mandatory Module: What is Dementia?
Teacher’s Note:
Ollie and Ruby’s story may resonate with some children in your class. Here are some
questions to guide the discussion. Please use them as a guide, in that you do not have to ask
them all, or in any particular order. The discussion will likely also spark questions. We
recommend printing the “Kids 4 Dementia Question Board” in A3 size, and writing the
questions on this. As the questions get answered during the program, the children can
write an answer next to them. If a question remains unanswered at the end of the program,
please contact us ([email protected]), we would love to hear it and help you
answer it.
Suggested Time: 15 minutes
CLASS DISCUSSION
<Try to keep the focus on dementia, rather than on things like appearance>
? What did people think of the story? How do you feel about the story?
? What do people think about Pops? What did you like about Pops? What
did you dislike about Pops?
? Has anyone got a story similar to Ollie or Ruby?
? Have you ever met, or come across someone with dementia, or like Pops?
What were/are your thoughts or feelings then/now (and why)?
? What do you know, or have heard, about dementia?
There is a very small risk that some children may find the discussion upsetting. The
following telephone numbers may be useful:

Kids Helpline: 1800 55 1800
Module 2: What Can We Do?
Teacher’s Note: The animation shows Ollie getting upset with Pops initially for misplacing his boots, but then shows Ollie recognising that it is not Pop’s fault and apologising to Pops for getting upset. Ollie then tells Ruby about his creative ideas to support Pops to continue to play golf with his buddies. This aim of the activity is to encourage the students to think about how they might best support or interact with a person with dementia.
Suggested Time: 10 minutes
Icebreaker Questions (optional):
What do you think about how Ollie behaved towards his Pops in the video?
Do you think he could have behaved differently – might you have behaved differently?
This activity uses the Think-Pair-Share technique. Break the class into small groups and give them a scenario each to problem-solve (the “possible responses” are a guide for you, the teacher). More than one group can have the same scenario. After five minutes, bring the class back together to discuss their answers.
Possible Responses for SCENARIO 1:
- Try to help her, e.g. look up the bus times with her, talk to an adult - Try to reassure her - Smile
Possible responses for SCENARIO 2:
- Try to help him, e.g. offer to explain what the girl is asking or to try to help with the money.
- Be calm and patient - Smile
Possible responses for SCENARIO 3:
- Put pictures on the cupboards indicating where items are (i.e. cup, teabag) - Half prepare it, e.g. have hot water ready in a flask, put the teabag and sugar already
in the cup - Design a (written or picture) list of the order of steps

Module 3: What happens in nursing homes?
Teacher’s Note:
In this animation, Pops has moved into a nursing home. Most people are familiar with the
term “Nursing Home”. We recommend taking this opportunity to introduce the current
preferred term for a nursing home, “Residential Aged Care Facility”.
The aim of this activity is to encourage your class to think of meaningful and/or fun things
that they might be able to do with a person with dementia. Children can personalise it to a
loved one with a dementia or to people with dementia more generally. We have focused
the activity to people with dementia living in an aged care facility, but of course many
activities that can be done with people with dementia living in an aged care facility, can also
be done with people with dementia living in different places. If a child is keen to write or
draw some activity ideas for a loved one with dementia living at home, please encourage
them to do so.
Suggested Time: 15 minutes

What Fun Things Could You Do with a Person Living in
an Aged Care Facility? Ollie played a game and listened to his Pop’s favourite music. He also took in an iPad and
photo album. What fun things can you think of? Write or draw one idea in each shape.

Module 4: What Causes Dementia?
Teacher’s Note:
The activity for this module is the interactive brain game. This can be accessed online from
the website, or offline from the USB drive. Children can explore the brain as a class, or
individually on iPads/computers. After children have clicked on each part of the brain and
learnt what it does, please proceed to the quiz. During the quiz, there is the option to
return to the main brain and check again what each part does.
Note: The brain has sound effects if you choose to have the sound on, on your device.
Suggested Time: 20 minutes

Teacher’s Note:
Ask the class to design their own poster or advert about how we can keep our brains
healthy. Perhaps the children can come up with a catchy slogan? You can print the
template provided, or simply use your own blank paper.
TIP: To reduce time spent on this activity, one option is to cut the template in half, and
present the activity as a “sign” rather than “poster”.

Module 6: How Does it Feel to Have Dementia?
Teacher’s Note:
This activity is a bit like the game “Taboo”. Invite students to communicate a message to
the class, without saying the listed words. The task of the class is to guess the message (or,
the role-play student to get the message across) - it does not need to be word for word.
You can also invite a second student, to be in charge of “shouting out” or making some
noise, if one of the “taboo” words are spoken. You do not have to role-play all the
messages, but do role-play at least two, of whichever you prefer. You can break the class
into small groups if you would prefer.
We hope your class has fun engaging in this activity. At the same time, the important aim of
the activity is for students to experience how frustrating it may be for a person living with
dementia. After or during the role-play, we recommend asking the following questions:
? To the role-play student: How did you feel trying to get the message across to the class?
How do you think you might feel if that was how you had to communicate with others
every day?
? To the class: How did you feel trying to guess the message? How do you think you
might feel if that was how you had to communicate with others every day?

child might feel, if they had a loved one with dementia. Your class might think about ways
in which we might be able to say and do things to support them. Children who have, or have
had, a loved one with dementia are free to relate this activity to their own experience of
dementia if they would like to.
