I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Recreational time at care facilities is so much more enjoyable when you can sit face-to-face with staff and friends, isn’t it?

In this article, we introduce fun, circle-based activities that are perfect for older adults—everyone can see each other’s faces while participating!

We’ve gathered a variety of activities: ones you can do seated using simple props like balls, ones you can do around a table, and even light exercises.

Enjoy them while sharing each other’s wonderful smiles!

Let's look for some fish and try catching them!

The fish-finding game played as a recreation activity for older adults is always a big hit.

It’s easy to enjoy not only for those who love fishing, but also for complete beginners.

The game involves placing various fish on a table and catching them with a rod.

A staff member calls out the name of a fish on the table, and the older adults look for it.

Because it requires split-second decisions, it helps develop their powers of observation.

Through this game, older adults can learn fish names, and it also serves as brain training, so it’s highly recommended.
