Deputy Editor of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. I’m Sasashina, a mom currently raising an elementary schooler and a preschooler. During my student years at Kyoto College of Science and Technology, I studied a wide range of fields including sound, lighting, and video technology, building a foundation in comprehensive stage production and creative expression. After graduation, I joined a music production company, where I still work, consistently building experience in production and engaging in a variety of music-centered tasks. Currently, I mainly handle articles for children, drawing on what I’ve learned about parenting and what I feel and discover through daily interactions with my kids. I hope my work can be of help to you, even in a small way!

We’ve put together a collection of spot-the-difference puzzles for seniors.

These puzzles are great for boosting concentration and are perfect for brain training too!

They can also help prevent cognitive decline, so they’re often used as recreational activities for older adults.

In this article, we introduce videos of spot-the-difference puzzles using illustrations and photos.

You don’t have to create the puzzles from scratch—just play the videos and watch together to enjoy an easy, fun time.

In larger facilities, projecting them onto a screen lets more people join in.

Be sure to give them a try together!
