Here’s a handmade fishing game perfect as a recreation activity for seniors!

Just like real fishing, concentration is key in the game until you catch a fish.

What’s more, using the head, arms, and fingers to reel in the catch stimulates the brain and helps keep it active.

Because it’s a DIY game, seniors can enjoy the process of making it as well.

For seniors who used to enjoy fishing as a hobby, the game can also be a chance to reminisce about their pleasant fishing memories.

Since many people are familiar with fishing, even those who have never fished before will find it easy to try this game.

Try adding creative touches—like preparing fish that match the season—to make it even more fun!

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.
