[For Seniors] Introducing Scary Trivia Quizzes & Fun Facts!
This time, I’d like to talk about some “scary trivia” lurking in our everyday lives.
Trivia is like a little spice.
The more you learn, the more you may feel not only fear, but also a curious sense of fascination.
For older adults in particular, thinking through quiz questions can increase cerebral blood flow and help prevent cognitive decline.
It also boosts concentration and attention, making it great training.
I hope this trivia will be of some help the next time you share scary stories.
It can also be a chance to deepen connections with older people around you, so please make good use of it.
