WHY DOES OUISI WORK?

Enhance Fine Motor Skills: OuiSi’s gameplay involves visual matching, card manipulation, and object placement, offering a dynamic way to build fine motor coordination and hand-eye coordination in patients.

Boost Cognitive Development: From recognizing patterns to solving visual puzzles, OuiSi promotes critical thinking, memory, and attention, helping patients strengthen cognitive abilities through interactive play.

Encourage Social and Emotional Growth: In both individual and group therapy settings, OuiSi fosters communication and cooperation, allowing patients to practice social skills, emotional regulation, and teamwork in a non-competitive environment.

START WITH VISUAL CONNECTIONS...

OuiSi Photo Cards "Visually Connect" based on shared patterns, shapes and colors. It's accessible yet fun and challenging for kids (4+) and adults alike. Each Photo Card has 10-20 matches, meaning thousands of Visual Connections in a box. Sometimes patients "get it" right away, and sometimes it helps to demonstrate play by showing them different examples of matches.

...THEN CHOOSE A WAY TO PLAY.

When you have the hang of Visual Connections, choose one of the 12 games and activities from the Guidebook. The fastest way to get going is to play OuiSinoes, a simple yet engaging (and visual) take on dominoes. Players can take turms making connections, or the process can be collaborative. Play can be adapted to the needs of players.

"As an Occupational Therapist working with young people we are often using games and activities to increase their perspective and flexible thinking skills. This game hits just that! I love the different ways you can play and switch it up per the young peoples interests and needs."

Nikki M., OTR/L

“As a Speech Language Pathologist, offering activities that are visual-only are critical for engagement, and for providing feelings of success for many of my clients! Family loved it too! Well done OuiSi!”

Martha B., M.Ed, SLP

I bought this gift for my husband who is an Occupational Therapist, for use in the rehab department for improving visual scanning and visual neglect, cognitive retraining, fine motor coordination and manipulation, functional reaching, etc.

Deanna W.

"As an occupational therapist and Mom, I love the open ended play options that this simple game provides. I appreciate the suggestions of how to play, and I enjoy watching kids and teens create their own ways to play. I especially love how the pictures inspire curiosity of the world around us!"

Susan K.

"I ordered OuiSi to use with my husband who has Parkinson's. His speech therapist noticed it, borrowed it, and has ordered her own set to use with her patients."

FAQs

Can OuiSi be adapted for patients with different abilities?

Absolutely! OuiSi’s gameplay is flexible and can be adjusted to meet the needs of patients with varying motor or cognitive abilities. It can be as simple as observing the photos and guessing "what" something is, or you can get into more stimulating games like OuiSinoes. The Guidebook is full of ideas for meeting the needs of patients.

Which version should I get?

All sets are playable standalone, or they can be combined.

OuiSi Original captures unexpected beauty in the "everyday," like the pattern of a crack in a sidewalk.

If players especially enjoy the element of surprise, they'll enjoy the subtlety of OuiSi Original.

OuiSi Nature is perfect for...nature lovers! We worked with 16 nature photographers from around the world, each with a unique environmental focus. Along with the novel QR codes, it's an incredible way to discover the beauty of our planet from home.

OuiSi Art – or specifically, OuiSi x Getty – will especially delight art lovers. Each Photo Cards captures an artistic element of an artwork from The Getty Museum. The QR codes unique to each Photo Card link to a descriptive art page.

DISCOUNTS: Ordering 10 or more sets (e.g., schools or corporate gifts)? Reach out to us at info@ouisi.co (not dot com!) for a custom quote.

What other professions use OuiSi?

TEACHERS: In a nutshell, OuiSi has proven to be an excellent resource for teachers across disciplines, usable the entire school year. Find icebreakers, SEL opportunities, design-thinking exercises, storytelling and writing exercises, and more. Please visit our dedicated Teaching with OuiSi Page.

SLPs and COUNSELORS: OuiSi is conversational by nature. While many activities can be played in quiet and/or solo, games like OuiSinoes offer an opportunity to share what one literally sees. When that creative observation is received with curiosity by others, it creates a safe space for conversation. Whether you're a student counselor, speech language pathologist or anyone invested in verbal expression, OuiSi is a simple and effective tool. Visit our SLP Page for more.

DEMENTIA CAREGIVING: OuiSi is not just a game, it's a valuable tool for individuals navigating dementia and mild cognitive impairments, offering an engaging, joyful and uncompetitive experience. Learn more on our Dementia Care Page.

OPTOMETRISTS: Admittedly, we never saw this one coming (pun intended)! OuiSi games, with their visually stimulating photo cards, offer a valuable tool for vision therapy. These games enhance visual processing, attention, and coordination by encouraging players to explore patterns, colors, and connections. For optometrists, OuiSi provides a playful yet effective method to engage patients in exercises that improve visual perception and cognitive skills, making therapy more interactive and enjoyable.

FACILITATORS: Sometimes a room full of adults can be a bit stiff. But OuiSi can break the ice with some bite-sized creative sharing. When teammates can share and be curious about basic creative ideas, it builds a rapport for greater collaboration.

What ages, and how many players?

Ages: when we say "made for ages 4 to 104," we mean it. Visual Connections tap into a unique and innate human intelligence. We don't get better at Visual Connections as we age...in fact, don't be surprised if the kids at the game table see connections that the adults don't.

Number of Players: OuiSi is VERY flexible in this way. It's enjoyable solo. It's a terrific for just two players. But you can also enjoy in larger groups, from 2 to 12. In fact, we know of groups as large as 25 who have used just one set (though we generally recommend the combo of OuiSi Original and OuiSi Nature for groups larger than 10).
