[For Seniors] Brain Training! Memory Recall Quiz Collection! (91–100)
Sea Creatures Quiz
You might think, “A game where you guess sea creatures? That’s easy, right?” But if you’re only shown a close-up of part of the animal, you might find yourself stumped for a moment! Even if you know the creature’s features, patterns, and shape, it can take time to recognize it when you can’t see the whole thing.
It’s also effective as brain training for older adults, so it’s highly recommended for day-service recreational activities! If it seems like answers are taking a while, you could prepare hints, such as the first letter of the animal’s name or notable characteristics.
Food Name Quiz
A quiz where you guess the name of a food or dish from a photo is a game that people of all ages can enjoy.
Even for seniors who have likely seen countless foods, having to answer instantly when shown only a photo engages the brain at full speed, making it a good memory-training activity.
Of course, you can also give hints such as ingredients or distinctive visual features, so tailor the questions to the level of your group.
It’s also fun to craft questions that sit at that sweet spot of whether the name comes to mind right away.
This is a quiz we recommend incorporating into recreational activities.
Flower Quiz
While flowers are an important way to feel the seasons, how much attention people pay to them varies from person to person.
This content uses quizzes about flowers to help you recall scenes and sense the changing seasons.
From identifying flower names from photos to reading their kanji, let’s revisit different kinds of knowledge related to flowers.
It’s also recommended to focus on whether you’ve seen them in real life and use that as a chance to reflect on the place, scenery, and season.
Animal Photo Quiz
Not only through direct encounters but also through photos and videos, you’ve probably seen a variety of animals.
This quiz challenges how much knowledge you have about such animals and whether you can clearly recall their names.
The format is simple: look at a photo and answer with the animal’s name.
If you can’t think of it, we’ll gradually provide hints about what kind of animal it is.
It’s also recommended to prompt participants to recall episodes of actually seeing the animal at a zoo, for example, and to reflect on how much they know about animals.
Japanese Cuisine Menu Recall Quiz
Eating is essential to living, and throughout life you’ve likely tried a wide variety of dishes.
This challenge tests how many of those dishes you can remember, putting your everyday interest in food to the test.
The items to recall are Japanese dishes; not only will you try to remember them, but you’ll also probe your memory to judge which ones count as Japanese cuisine.
If you set a time limit for recalling, focusing on speed may further stimulate brain activity.
Wartime and Postwar Meal Memory Quiz
As times change, the things we eat gradually change as well, and we have fewer chances to recall what we used to eat in the past.
This is a quiz about old-time meals that invites you to reflect on bygone food culture and draw out your memories.
You can look back on past meals from your own experiences, or try thinking about old foods you’ve only heard about.
There are many angles to explore classic foods—identifying them by appearance, figuring out how their kanji are read, and more.
In October 1972, Japan and China normalized diplomatic relations, and China presented an animal as a commemorative gift. What animal was it?
October has pleasant weather and is the best season for field trips, isn’t it? There are many possible destinations for field trips, and zoos are surely one of them.
