paper and dividing 2 mahjong paper into 2 parts each. This way, you
have 5 parts for cadets to write on.
• If you do not have tokens for the game, can consider cutting green,
red, yellow paper into small rectangles/squares OR using something
to represent money, happiness and health
• if you cannot print slide 106-109, consider just labelling the room with
paper with the words written, or you can do the activity sitting down

day.
One last pointer…

with your partners to make an
informed choice

Chapter 3 Why are those needs important?
Health is an essential need!
- As we age, our body grows weaker and

more prone to illnesses and ailments such
as back pains or diabetes.
- If health is neglected, these illnesses will

cause a lot of pain and trouble for the
elderly.
Health
Happiness is an essential need!
- Due to their circumstances, many elderly in

Singapore live alone
- Without any support networks, they are

prone to becoming socially isolated
- Which may spiral to more serious issues

Happiness such as depression or dementia
Money is an essential need!

-
Money allows the elderly to obtain basic
