Brain training! Towel rock-paper-scissors

Top 3 Towel Rock-Paper-Scissors Activities: Excellent Recreation and Dementia Prevention for Seniors

Like the game “Hit-and-Cover Rock-Paper-Scissors,” this towel rock-paper-scissors trains your reflexes and your brain.

Spread a towel on the table and sit facing your opponent.

Play rock-paper-scissors; if you win, pull the towel toward yourself.

If you lose, hold the towel down firmly so it can’t be taken.

As the game heats up, people often mix up what to do with the towel when they win or lose, which in turn stimulates the brain even more.

Since it’s an exercise you do with someone else, it also encourages communication and lifts your mood!

Balloon Ring Relay

[Top 5 Balloon Activities 🏀] The ultimate new collection of balloon games! Guaranteed fun—want to try them all!

Balloons that move a lot with just a small amount of force can behave unpredictably even when you’re just carrying them sideways.

This game uses that awkwardness in a relay-style challenge where balloons are passed along in order.

Prepare ring-shaped balloons, and give each person a stick made from newspaper or a sponge.

At the starting signal, players use the sticks to pass the balloon to the next person, aiming to get all the balloons to the goal.

You can increase the difficulty—and the excitement once everyone gets used to it—by making the balloon rings smaller and the sticks longer.

Balloon Baseball Game

[Cheerful Rec 🏀] Home Run Derby at 80! Next week’s activity has to be this: Balloon Baseball Game

It’s a game where you swing a stick vigorously to send a balloon flying as far as possible.

What you aim the balloon at also matters—there are various rule sets, such as aiming for a target or trying to clear obstacles.

It’s a game that can train many parts of the body in the instant of the swing: grip strength on the stick, awareness of transferring power to the balloon, and twisting movements of the body.

To make the balloon fly in the intended direction, it’s important to keep your eyes on it, so it can also help improve concentration.

A bingo game that uses both the head and the body to have fun

[Urayasu School Tuesday Class] A Bingo Game That Makes You Think While You Run (Lower Grades Class)

This is a game where you toss beanbags into targets arranged in a grid, aiming to line up a row.

By adjusting the number and size of the squares and the distance to the targets, you can tailor the rules to the participants and make it exciting.

The key is how you throw the beanbags so they reach the targets; it helps build concentration for gauging distances to far objects and for adjusting throwing strength.

Assess your own abilities carefully and decide which targets you’re more likely to reach.
