We’d like to introduce autumn-themed activities and recreation games for seniors.

Autumn brings pleasant weather that makes you want to go out.

It’s great if you can just decide, “Alright, let’s go!” and head out, but some people find it difficult to go out as they’d like.

So in this article, we’ll introduce enjoyable recreation games you can play indoors.

There are plenty of crafts and team-competition games that are useful in settings like day service centers, so please make good use of them.

Let’s play and feel the autumn season!

Drawing with fallen leaves

Here’s a craft that’s perfect for autumn.

As fall arrives and red and yellow leaves flutter to the ground, let’s use fallen leaves to make an owl! For the owl’s base, drip watercolor paint onto drawing paper and use a straw to blow the paint around, creating a blown-paint design.

Choose autumnal colors to give it a seasonal feel.

Use the fallen leaves you’ve collected for the owl’s wings and other parts.

It’s very easy and cute, so give it a try!

What comes to mind when you think of autumn? Is it a season of hearty appetites? And of course, it’s also a season of culture and the arts.

That said, there are times when going out can feel like a bit of a hassle.

When it comes to culture you can enjoy at home, reading is the obvious choice.

After the Naoki and Akutagawa Prize winners are announced, there are so many books to read in the fall.

Be sure to savor them with some relaxing music!
